Could be. We are out in the country and I drive roughly 45 min. to work. If my truck gets washed once a month, it's doing good. I don't have time or the desire to spend on keeping it pristine clean. The Road King is a different story, but not by much.

OptiCoat Plus Ceramic Coating on whole car for me. Never waxing again. I just reload the coating 2-3 times a year with simple Spray/Wipe it Off OptiCoat Seal Spray and thats it. Shines like no wax does, beats off water like crazy stays clean longer, washes easier. Down side ... dont use automatic car washes.

I'm surprised nobody had mentioned McGuiar's spray wax. I use that on all of our vehicles. Once clean and dried I can cover my entire crew cab in about 30 minutes. It won't last all year but I use it about every other month since it's so easy to apply. Good stuff.

I grew up on a dirt road so in my later life I have a phobia about keeping cars clean. It's not that hard if you stay on top of it....and live on a paved road!

I have some and I have a bottle of the spray detailer. Good stuff but I think the ICE is better.

I always used Eagle One nano wax with good results. However I have started an experiment with F11, on the wife;s Escape so far I am liking the resultsso, I may use it on the new truck. downside as above stay out of automatic washers except for an occasiona rinse off only. I have 2 no touch Washes next to me.Quick rinse, spot free, blow dry. Just for when I am in a hurry.
