    Do you guys think your truck looks better dirty whether it be mud, dust etc.
    Or do you think it looks better clean.

    Not sure if someone made a thread about this already

    Dirty... but not too dirty, just naturally dirty. The only time I give it a rinse it after wheeling pretty much. Other than that, I let mother nature did her job ;)

    I like my truck clean but hard to keep it that way in West Texas, the inside to me is more important to keep clean. It is a truck so if the outside is a lil dirty then so be it :)

    She's gone but not forgotten.
    Lucy either needs to be spotless or totally covered in mud. Inbetween just looks like I let her get dirty 'cause I'm lazy.

    Anybody ever tried to get limestone mud off your truck? Last time I took her out in that stuff was two months ago, it's still falling out of places I can't reach to clean.

    I like mine both ways, looks sweet when its totally clean. I also like mine when its got some dust on it from driving around on the camping roads in the mountains. Whenever its covered in mud its alright for a lil while

    I like it semi dirty. I was her, but I like it most of the time when its not so shinny. I would prefer a flat color.
