Wash essentials
Everything in the video
Washing is where most paint damage happens, and almost all of it comes down to the wrong soap or the wrong tool. These four are what we actually use, and splitting the pads top and bottom is the part most people skip.
Start here
The Foam Thrower
Lay down the foam
Thick foam that clings to the panel instead of running off, so the dirt is already loosened before anything touches your paint. Free soap included.
$50.00and up
Shift Soap
The soap
The ceramic safe wash. Cleans without stripping, so a coating keeps beading instead of wearing down a little more every time you wash.
$18.0016 oz
Flat Out Wash Pads
Upper panels
Four pack, double sided. Two panels per pad, then it goes in the rinse bucket and you grab a fresh one.
$35.004 pack
Block Party
Lower panels
Built for the rockers, lower doors and bumpers where the heavy grit lives. This one never comes back up to your good paint.
$18.00

The stuff that makes it easier
A truck is a lot more surface area than a car, and most of the frustration comes from fighting a hose, running out of clean towel, or not having one cleaner that handles everything the soap will not.
Shine Supply Bucket
2.5 gallon and clear, so you can see what is coming off. Get two, one for soap and one for rinsing.
$15.002.5 gal
The Gliders
Keeps the hose off the paint and out from under the tires while you work your way around a long vehicle.
$23.00
The Drying Dutchman
30 by 30. On a truck you need the surface area, or you are wringing a towel out every other panel.
$35.0030x30
Solution APC
Dilutes from 10 to 1 down to 1 to 1. Wheel wells, bug splatter, door jambs, bed rails and trim.
$38.00Gallon
The dirty half
Wheels, tires and undercarriage
The parts of a truck people notice and nobody wants to deal with. Do them before the paint, so the overspray rinses away instead of landing on a clean panel.
Classy Chassis
Undercarriage spray. Brings a neglected underside back to a like new look instead of leaving it chalky and grey.
$24.0016 oz
Decked Out
Tire dressing concentrate. Cut it 1 to 1 for gloss, 2 to 1 for satin, up to 10 to 1 for flat matte.
$35.0016 oz
Tire Dressing Brush
Soft feathered bristles and a handle built for pushing dressing evenly across a big truck sidewall.
$6.95
The Tire Dressing Kit
Decked Out with a labeled mixing bottle and the right brush. The truck version comes with the Leveler.
$42.00
