    Been using chem x products, they just changed the formula and haven’t tried the new stuff yet, it’s supposed to be a fancy touch less wash (but it’s not) but still does a good job.

    Have used brite max cut/polish for a long time but rebel red works better and is easier to apply/wipe down

    I will not use streakin beacon

    This,
    I use the Chem X stuff as well. Works good for me. Use their dual foam cannon set up and their stars and stripes soaps in them. I usually wash at least once a week. I haul grain and rock so im in a lot of dust and sometimes slop.
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.

    haven’t tried Stars and Stripes yet, have the jugs sitting on my floor, redline/mshine worked all right in just a spray bottle, I couldn’t really get any good results from the foamer, at a minimum I would have to run a quick brush over it BUT it was just a quick wipe and better results then just soap and water

    luquid x on the maroon on my truck really makes it pop

    The stars and stripes blows the red line/ M shine combo out of the water. One of the tricks to a 2 step is washing the truck like you are washing with no soap. Have to hit every bit of it with pressure. The 2 step debonds the debris to the truck but it takes high pressure to take it off, can just rinse the soap off until there are no more suds. Actually need to go over the truck with pressure. I washed my whole truck an trailer the other day in an hour, including getting the supplies out and putting them away.
