Pressure washer, 2 5 gallon buckets, microfibre mits etc.

Lots of videos/tutorials online

Assuming you don’t drop your microfiber wash mitt in the gravel, anything you do by hand will be better than the automatic wash.

I’ve been using Wolfgang detail products for a couple years now. The exterior trim sealant is great on the exterior plastic pieces and a little goes a long way.

I would suggest you checking out www.shinesupply.com the guy that does my Raptor uses their products along with myself on several vehicles uses them. Great products.

You can still use the touchless ones that have brackets that measure the size of the vehicle first. Hand wash is great and all, but in January in MD sometimes you just want a quick rinse.

Karcher K1700 pressure washer

Incredipad XL wash pad

Foam cannon

2x 5 gallon buckets with grit guards

Good foaming soap

Quality microfiber drying towels

That will get you started

Adams is a forum sponsor and has great products.

Home Depot bucket, good quality car soap, one mitt for wheels and tires only, and one mitt for painted surfaces.

I've been using Adams products and like them a lot. For rags and mitts I have been buying from The rag company. Couple of buckets as mentioned with guards in them. Unless you're tall also recommend something to stand on. The top area is tough to reach.
