Looks sharp!

It’s a cheap pickup that has been described as “inoffensive.” Looks like a Ford. Looks best from the rear. I’ve had mine for two and a half years, so the honeymoon phase is in the rearview mirror. Now, after I wash it, I just get in and drive it. The joy is in the driving, not the gazing.

If you don't admire your work, what's the point of detailing a vehicle.😉👍

Same here.
When we get into town, It's usually the tunnel of torture because it's the handiest and fastest.
I may dry it, if there's shade and time. Usually I try and get it washed while my wife is grocery shopping.
With arthritis in my back. My hand washing the truck days are pretty much over.
I'm sure not going to hand wash in over 100°.

I'm over it too and don't wash, but the public still loves it. Drove by the popular local Whole Foods and the heard "that's a nice car" yesterday. Asian-American people like practical cars and it's a complement to me.

And again after 20 minutes when you come back and see the water marks and drip lines coming from all the trim pieces. 😬

That's why I got this Ryobi handheld blower. Gets 90% of the water off the truck, then 10 minutes of towel drying and the towels not even wet.

You'll no longer have the issue of lingering water in crevices or gaps. I got it a couple weeks ago from home Depot on sale for $119.99 with the battery and charger included, normally 149.99. This one has multiple nozzles and attachments, the one pictured has a soft pliable rubber tip.

You could also use your standard battery-powered yard blower but they're too big noisy and cumbersome for vehicle use in my opinion.

I just use my leaf blower, or my compressor

Mine have 2+ years with me, yes I want the new one, yes I want the new toys, but that color still captivating me, I freaking love my cyber Orange maverick. Yes more than even the 1st day I got it.

I got a buffer from Harbor Freight and I am going to give my Blu Maverick the attention it deserves
Be careful not to buff to hard or you’ll go through the thin ass paint job
