Default Cleaning the new Defender

What products are you using to wash/clean both the exterior and interior? Curious if anyone "swears" by something particular and a lot of my curiosity comes from what you are putting not the dash and grab handles...not even sure what that material is????

Big fan of Ammo Foam paint cleanser and Ammo interior cleanser. All of Larry's products have proven to be great for me. https://ammonyc.com/

With STEK DYNOShield PPF and CQuartz Finest Reserve ceramic coating, that's all I really ever need to keep the truck looking great.

Lot's of good stuff out there. Good luck.

Have just learned a little about the ceramic coating. Still wrapping my brain around it…so many different products and coming from an old school waxing mindset.

I'm a big fan of Gtechniq products, like Gwash, but I'm a bit of a Gtechniq fan boy, I've put their ceramic on a few of my vehicles so I like them. I use some of their interior stuff however mostly use the 303 brand leather cleaners. I've always been happy with both brands and go to them time and time again.

I refused to give up carnauba wax for a long time after ceramic coatings were introduced. Initially they just didn't look that good. But the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light is fantastic. I'll never go back to wax after using that stuff.

I feel like the only people still using wax are also still listening to Limp Bizkit while they apply it every 3 months.

I am worse than that….. Wash only with whatever I have, no wax. It needs it though but I don’t have a clue what to do about it. I am a dinosaur.

Really appreciate the feedback. Had ordered some chemical guys and Meguiars products but now thinking about giving the Gtechniq products a go instead!
