How do you wash these monsters
So the time has come to give my truck its first bath and I'm trying to figure out the best way to wash this thing. I have an F350 CCLB with a hard tonneau cover. When I stand next to the truck, the mirrors are about head level. So I figured I am going to need a ladder but I'm looking for any tips and tricks you have found to wash and dry these massive trucks. Thanks in advance.

I use my pressure washer with a foam cannon.. wet it down. Foam it. Use a bucket and wash, long handled cleaner for the top, and hard cover.
Rinse it. Foam it again with a gloss enhancer, rinse and the water beads off. Drive it. Use a blower and wipe it down and I’m done.
My truck is a 350 and lifted 4in on 37s. I ain’t making it thru any car wash any time soon.

I run a professional detail shop out of my home and I’ll 💯 be ceramic coating my truck as soon as it gets in from the factory. As far as washing it avoid a brush and just hand wash with a micro fiber mit or use the two bucket technique. I foam cannon and microfiber mit the 2016 I have now. Can’t wait for a fesh start on a truck I ordered new!!

Am I the only one that just climbs up on the front tire to wash the hood? I do need to get a foam canon this year, but microfiber mit is the way to go. Get in the bed for the roof and stand on the tires for the hood, bingo you're done. On a similar topic, I use a 6 foot broom handle with a squeegee/brush head as my snowbroom...

Sounds like there’s some effort put into washing your trucks. I go to a manual spray wash and spray soap/water to get the dirt off. Then I rinse it. I don’t climb on anything or dry it. It’s a white truck so it looks relatively clean with no water spots unless you get right up close. Where I live, it just gets dirty the next day so no point spending that much time. Lol
