Clean or Dirty Tacos?

Mat-taco06 · 03-17-2007, 10:49 PM

I know everyone loves their Tacos but, how often do you treat your Tacos to a wash or just clean them to make sure they are nice and shiny?

I wash my Taco every Saturday, and clean it inside and out.

Clean the windows
Pass the vacuum
Armorall the Dash, center counsel and doors
Clean my rims and shine my tires
Wash my WeatherTech floor liners

Every weekend, if I did'nt have a job it would probably be everyday.

Really just once a month...

I haven't had mine a month yet but i can tell you i'm gonna be a once a month cleaner. Trucks (especially black ones) look good with a little mud kicked up on the side of it. Girls dig guys when we have a little stubble and are dressed down, sort of a rugged look, but they also love it when we dress up in a suit and look all sharp and clean cut. Trucks are the same way. They look good caked in mud but they also look good waxed and clean and shiny. At least thats my opinion.

Had mine almost 2 weeks, washed it atleast 5 times - my dealer has a free car wash for as long as you own your vehicle. My wife still washes her 98 Avalon there. I pass it everyday to and from work. I will always have a clean ride!!!! Image is everything.

I wash mine about every month and a half. It's a truck, it should be a little dirty most of the time.

agreed. i need to wash mine this week but it will be the first time in about a month to a month in a half. and i haven't cleaned the interior yet, i guess i need to do that too

TRDeity · 07-12-2007, 09:32 AM

I will finally get to wash mine again, the rain finally seems to have slowed down here, we may actually have a whole week with less than 3 inches of rain. Thought it would never end.

I rarely wash my truck whats the point my truck is BSP and it looks dirty 20 mins after I wash it.

Yeah, i have the same paint. it looks amazing for about a day then it looks like it needs another bath

pb2themax · 07-14-2007, 01:43 AM

Sometimes I wash 2-3 times a week. Just depends on how dirty the truck is, and what the weather is doing.
