Washing Your Truck

When you hand wash your truck, do you use hard or soft water

 

Since I wash my truck at home and have a water softener, it gets watched with soft water. Not sure I'd go out of my way to look for soft but since I have it that's what gets used.

 

I really rarely hand wash my truck, but when I do I just use tap water, which is hard... Usually I just hit the automatic, and hand dry when I get home...

 

i use water from the hose which is hard but i use a detergant that has a sofener so it makes me feel better about it

 

^^^ What he said...

 

i pressure wash it some times when i have to

 

tap water ftw... lol

 

I have yet to hand wash my own truck. I bring it in for automatic car wash for $5 and it does its job and I bring shammy to dry it off completely.

 

I just use a hose. I use old worn out bathroom towels to dry it, which takes care of water spots. My truck is a light color so it doesn't matter anyway. I probably wax it every 2-3 months anyway.

 

I use tap water, so hard water I guess.

 

I pressure wash my truck because the tap water in our town is so hard it leaves nasty spots. Theres a bunch of cars out here that park by sprinklers and they let it dry and have to buff it out late on.

 

I use whatever comes out the end of my garden hose.

 

x2 lol

 

I dont wash it much, but when i do i use a pressure washer.

 

X2.

It's a truck, not a crystal goblet. It's lucky to get washed every now and then.

 

Nice run through the car wash, dip out before the blower kicks on (went through a couple when i first got the truck and watched the hood act like a kid was jumping on it) and shamwow when i get home, i live 2 mins away.

 

Just the old tap hard water. It all depends on the soap used and other additional care after you wash it if you ask me.

 

... I dunno how but it gets real dirty fast! so I've more grown into the " eh puddles and rain can wash my truck" mood its sad but its true

 

Is that flat black paint?

 

Soft. This is what I use.
