Default How do you wash your F150

Hadn't seen much discussion about this, so I figured I would start this to have some fun and how everyone goes about keeping their ladies clean.

Me personally I use the following:

1 5-gallon rinse bucket with water only with grate at the bottom
electric pressure washer
Foam Cannon from amazon (Amazing Product for $15 BTW)
Microfiber towels (washing/drying)
Car wash/wax (nothing specific whatever I feel like buying)
Tire Shine Spray
Turtle Wax Wax and Dry
Rain-X Cleaner and Repellent

Check the "detailing and cleaning" thread in this maintenance section. You'll find a lot of threads on the subject.

Personally, I make the old lady wash it.

Full Service carwash subscription at a local place. $55/month, and i go 2-3X's per week. My wife thinks im nuts. Then again, she never washes her Edge, i end up taking it in for a wash once a month or so.
