How clean do you keep your Taco?

Packguy2 · 11-05-2009, 02:02 PM

I like to keep my truck pretty clean, inside and out. Just wondering how often others wash their Taco's and how clean they keep them. I usually wash it once every other week or so. With previous cars I've had, I'd wipe them down every time I saw a spot on them. (2003 Audi A4 I was crazy about). If I had somewhere to go offroading I wouldn't care so much, but since I don't I figure I'll keep it clean.

I'm lucky if I keep my air filter clean.

cmack48 · 11-05-2009, 02:07 PM

I like when my truck looks dirty. Makes it look badass when it's got mud and dirt on it, and it doesn't look like a mall crawler then.

I had my girl clean it today

I clean it when I'm not lazy and it starts to get dirty. Or if I'm showing it off.

Outside - When I get to it

Inside - SPOTLESS!!

Brunes · 11-05-2009, 02:14 PM

I give it REALLY good cleaning now and again- most of the time it stays dirty.

WW_FIREFIGHTER · 11-05-2009, 02:14 PM

Mine sits inside my garage 6 days a week so I don't wash it to much!!!

Dang, I need to take her out more!!!

Scottcrumley24 · 11-05-2009, 02:17 PM

Its a truck...its suppose to get dirty

Edit: On the outside!

paintdiddy · 11-05-2009, 02:34 PM

my truck doesnt know clean

TacoTRD420 · 11-05-2009, 02:55 PM

Outside: about once a week when im in.

Inside: Spotless, beside the stain on the seat.

yotarob2005 · 11-05-2009, 03:08 PM

Outside, every other week. It sleeps in the garage so it doesn't get too dirty unless it rains while I'm at work

Inside, Stays clean all the time, I vacume it out weekly & never leave trash in it.

rick · 11-05-2009, 03:22 PM

dirty on the outside, clean on the inside

danbow · 11-05-2009, 03:28 PM

Spotless interior
Exterior--- well--- it gets dirty and stays that way, but hec, it's a truck right?

4X4_TRD · 11-05-2009, 03:30 PM

It gets cleaned every time it rains. But if someone would like to volunteer to do it I'll throw in a few beers.

jlvhrse · 11-05-2009, 03:34 PM

Im weird.. clean on the outside, kinda dirty on the inside.. I keep stain remover under my back seat so I can keep the seats clean but I am always getting the floor boards dirty from being at the barn.

oofy15354 · 11-05-2009, 03:35 PM

the inside of mine is kept spotless (except for now. ive been putting in a stereo for almost a month and different parts of my dash are scattered about)
the outside of mine used to be washed every so often but after going off roading once and getting it covered in mud, i liked the look so much, it stays like that permanently

ClemsonTacoma · 11-05-2009, 03:59 PM
