I’m currently looking for something to protect the paint on my 2021 XLT. I used to be really into detailing but I’ve been out of it for a while due to life and kids. I don’t always have a whole day to designate to cleaning my truck like I used to!

I’m interested in hearing about what your favorite products are for keeping your F-150 clean inside and out. What polishes, buffers, waxes, sealants, ceramic coatings and detail sprays is everyone using these days?

If you could, list where to purchase the product as well as a general price if possible! I think this could be a great thread full of shiny trucks and I can’t wait to try out some new products!

 

Mequiars products for interior and exterior. Vinyl protectant, wax, sealers, carpet cleaner, and clay bar.

 

It's a truck, it'll be fine. Get it dirty and don't watch it unless you need to get salt off of it.

 

Zaino for polish, and Zaino leather treatment. The polish is hydrocarbon based, and lasts much longer than wax.

 

If the paint is in good shape and doesnt need clay or any correction, I like Collinite 845 Insulator wax if I have the time . If I dont have the time, I like Mequiars Hybrid Ceramic. After a few applications of it, I can keep my truck looking pretty good between handwashes with just a rinse from a hose.

For the plastic, rubber, and vinyl, I like 303 Aerospace.

I’ve used the Turtle Wax Graphene spray the last two times I’ve washed mine. It’s fairly quick and easy to use but I’d like something with longer lasting protection. It is pretty hydrophobic stuff just like the Turtle Wax Ice seal and shine.

 

I have 2 kids, ages 3 and 6. My truck is always dirty! I always have crushed goldfish in my backseat and footprints on my seats and center console. However, I try to take care of my things and I enjoy a clean paint job. There’s something therapeutic to me about smooth, clean, shiny paint.

 

Had ceramic installed when I bought it.

Right now I am using Griot’s polish. Can get that from advanced auto for about $15. I have also used Adam’s and Zaino. I like them all but I cannot find those two anywhere but online and I don’t plan well enough to make sure I don’t run out.

I use chemical guys hydro ceramic interior cleaner. Advanced auto as well. $20. That’s about it for now as truck only has 3000 miles in it so paint in great shape.
