I use a soft bristle brush for doing the roof and windshield since they are hard to reach (I have a 10' pole on the brush). The rest of the truck I use a car wash mit. I basically use Mother's car wash on the outside and armor all on the inside.

I use a mit and car wash soap that I bought at Sam's Club 1 gallon. I also use a 2' aluminum step ladder in order to reach the roof and windshield, no brush....

For the wash part, I use a real sheepskin mit (made by turtle wax?) and Meguiar's Gold Class car wash - all from Pep Boys.

I use a real sheepskin mit for the truck with Mequiars Gold Class car wash. For the wheels I use 2 types of brushes that I got at Walmart just for the tires. And for the inside as well as the exterior black plastic I use the Teflon cleaner from Dupont its nice since it doesnt attract any dust in your dash and doest leave a shiny finish. I used the was Teflon product as well on my wifes black car and it works great.
