I was turned onto this by one of the guys in a Facebook group. First, for context, I have a 2022 Limited with the JBL system. Personally, I’m not a big fan of these pre-built audio systems like JBL (or similar) because they don’t really give you a clean upgrade path later if you want to add your own amp or speakers. The system has always sounded a little off to me. I wouldn’t say the JBL system sounds bad, but it’s kind of like taking music that’s meant to be played in 2-channel and forcing it through a 7-channel setup—you end up losing some of the detail and notes in the process. Someone in the Facebook group suggested going into the audio settings and turning off Virtual Surround Sound. They were right—that was it. It’s basically post-processing from the JBL system to simulate surround sound, but for my personal listening preference, it sounds much better with it turned off. Give it a shot.

Review

Disclosure - I have been a follow of Obsessed Garage for years and use a lot of the products they test and recommended because their testing process is rigorous and straight forward. I don't have the means to do that type of testing of all the products myself.

But this product is so good I wanted to share it with yall. First you need to know you need a pressure washer and foam cannon to use it. You spray it on the truck before you even do anything else at all. You let it sit for 5 minutes and spray it off. 80% of the wash is done right there. The PH neutral formula and the activate chemicals lift the dirt off the paint and flow away. It even just melted all the dirt off the underside of my truck.

Panel Impact Ration

Ok I wanted to touch on this part because it took me a while to figure out. These are professional detailing chemicals, not just some soap you buy from amazon put it in the pressure washer and go. You must measure the chemical and dilute it properly in a foam cannon to get the results you want.

"Put 227 ml (round as needed) into your 1L foam cannon, and then top off with water to the 1L mark. You’re now using Touch-Less at a 2% panel impact ratio for your pressure washer setup."

It feels a little weird to use cooking measuring cups in the garage but makes the science part of my brain feel happy.
