Default Washing Products?

Not to sound like a noob.....but what is everybody using for washing products on their Rams? The last few jugs of car washing liquid that I bought at the part store has been less than desirable. No suds. I am looking for a product that has good sudsing but won't take the wax off of the truck. So what are you using?

Wash??? Who washes their truck??? Actually I am not that bad but I might wash once every other month if I am feeling the need. I remember wen I first bought my truck I washed it about once a month but I have now settled back into my normal routine of not washing. My previous truck (which was purchased brand new)I never once washed in the 3 years I owned it.

i use the "$3 Car Wash" down the street (+$1 truck/suv charge +$1 Tip)... keeps it as clean as i want it until the 60+ degree weather comes back and i have some time to wash it myself!

I think mine has been since aboutr then too. I think I washed mine last then I got home from Yellowstone in the last week in July. The last washing would have been a few days to a week or so afterwards.

lol you guys are freaking nuts. I wash mine every week and paste/hand wax twice a month in the warmer weather. Inbetween other washes I always spray wax it. I like to baby my truck, plus the black looks amazing when it's clean. Gotta love a clean truck, but you gotta love a muddy one too..

Hell, with this weather we've been having it's almost pointless to try right now. Sunny and warm 70 degrees one day, 30 and snowing the next, just getting road salt all over your freshly washed truck. lol
