    Here in the Northeast we had great weather this weekend so I took advantage of today's warm temperatures and washed my truck. Anyone else wash their truck today? If so post a picture of your handiwork and let me know how long it took you. Here is my truck washed and waxed, took about 3 hours to do everything. []

    It's been a good 6 months so I washed, clay barred, waxed mine this weekend too. I'm an old fart so probably 4 hours total. She's now "super white" again!

    Dreaming of washing my truck. Too cold, and still to much salt on the road.

    This was a couple days after purchase. Before any mods

    I washed mine today, and detailed the interior!! Also washed, clay barred, and waxed my moms Rav4. Such perfect weather for washing. Shorts and flip flops.

    I forgot all about this thread lol, nice looking trucks guys. I have non-stop snow and salt where I am too, this winter has been crazy. For now just trying to hit the car wash weekly to keep it somewhat clean, probably wont be washing it myself for a couple months. Sounds good to be Brad right now, but I love the snow too so I cant complain

    I noticed the location and saw the leaves, I was like Wait a minute!! Haha
    Still relevant though and I'm I he same boat. I spray it down every few weeks.
    No point in washing because it's instant dirt again.
