Back when I was in high school and I had my firebird, I cleaned it about every two weeks inside and out. Nowadays I just don't have the time and I just don't want to do it.

The inside stays clean most of the time, the outside is dirty a lot. I will spray it off though every two weeks to get off some dirt, and do a quick spray ASAP every time I see some bird crap on the paint. Every two months or three I'll give it a real cleaning using Mothers car wash.

theres a guy here who is semi-homeless who details cars all over town for $15 a pop. He does a really good job. wax, tire shine, the whole 9 yards. he comes by every week and knocks on my door when hes done. probably the only bonus to living in the hood in charleston.

Just did some rearranging in the garage and now I can fit my wifes 06 Accord 4dr and my DC LB and shut the door with inches to spare. I'll have to build some shelves to keep things off the floor but it's so much easier to keep the truck clean when it's parked in the garage over night.

outside dont care, maybe wash it once a month. But inside you better knock your shoes of before you get in.

^^^LOL.. Im the same way with my Interior!

the Exterior I like to keep clean too, but since it rains/some snow 9months out of the year here, I wash it about every other week. But my Interior stays spotless.

I'm the same way. I try to wash it as often as I can, but don't have a lot free time to do so. I do keep the inside as clean as possible.

I wash it regularly but live down a dirt/gravel road so it's a lost cause.

i used to feel guilty and not worthy of having a new truck because i see the super shiny nice clean trucks and mine is always dirty/muddy, and the inside gray is kinda brownish gray because I used to work on a farm and now i teach gardening, so my hands are always dirty. And my truck gets kinda scratched up and dirty from rambling over lava and through kiawe...then someone said to me "what's the use of having a truck if you don't use it like a truck?"...but man it looks pretty when it's clean
