So I just took delivery on my 2022 Tahoe, I am looking for recommendations for a quality car wash soap and wax. I've seen a lot on line but sometimes that
leads to more questions than answers.

I like the Chemical Guys products.
I had a couple black vehicles. Seemed to do best with the "paint sealants." I like the Griot's products, but like said, Chem Guys make some good stuff.
After I bought my current 2018 truck, I switched to a "rinseless" wash system and have not had to wax the vehicle since. It's like waxing every time I wash.

Chemical Guys. If you feel like spending the money, you may want to have it ceramic coated.

After some research, I really like the turtle wax brand spray on ceramic wax . I do not have the time/desire to do the traditional ceramics coating myself.
I used a hybrid clay bar to strip my 2020 F150 down. It may have taken me an hour to put 2 coats of the turtle ceramic spay on the truck. In the rain at 65mph, I get a puddle on both sides of my hood it beads so well. Wind is pushing the water up and weight of the puddle of water is holding it in place. Your hand slides on the metal with almost no friction.
I towed home from Champlain Friday in the rain. My boat looked dirty by the truck looked like I had washed it.
I am going to try it on the boat next. I like the Lucas slick mist on the boat but now that Turtle wax has a “ceramic “ wipe down spray as well, I’ll give it a shot
And from the tight wad financial planner side of me, it’s under $20 for the bottle which would do 3 or 4 vehicles, it makes it that much better.
I don't have the time nor patience to do a good, traditional paste wax. In the old days, I would put on 2 coats which lasts a long time. Now, I use Turtle Wax spray-on wash and wax with carnauba and wipe it dry. Seems to be good with minimal amount of effort and cost. Also used it on my tin boat, including the fiberglass consoles.
Thanks for all of the suggestions and insight.
