So I bought what I hope is my last new truck for, well, ever...and I plan on riding out into the sunset in it barring any major accident or disaster. So I'm looking for suggestions to maintain the paint and exterior here in the South TX sun. 2018 Chevy 2500HD Duramax. Love it! Huge ride and comfort improvement over my very solid but loud 2011 2500HD Duramax.
I'm pretty solid on my mechanical system maintenance, to include running full synthetic fluids, quality filters, change things at recommended intervals, etc. I'm pretty anal on that stuff. It's maintaining the paint and exterior plastics I have a hard time doing consistently right.
Typically, I try to give my vehicles a good wax and other preservatives every year. I use a paint clay every couple years, and I generally use the Meguire brand Ultimate stuff, black bottles. But is that enough? Should I do this semi annually or even quarterly? Is there a professional/different line of product that's significantly better or worth more cost? I'd definitely pay more for an easier process. Not really looking for a different brand of the same thing...unless I'm that far off track.
I keep seeing ads for some F11 Top Coat stuff, but I'm guessing it's probably too good to be true.
Looking for what's working for y'all. This is my daily driver and is generally parked outside 95% of the time.
