    I usually roll clean in the Summer. But winter months we get alot of rain, so I wont wash it as much and roll dirty for awhile.. 2-3 weeks or so..

    I'm a neat freak so I keep it clean as much as possible. With cold winters here it is hard in the winter but I make it work.

    It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so it should be clean for work Monday.
    If it doesn't rain hard enough, then it'll look like shit, so some time between leaving work Monday and getting home Thursday, I'll roll through a touchless wash after getting gas.

    I keep it clean as realistically possible. I wash/wax weekly but that's because I love the Black Sand Pearl paint.

    Super white is easy to keep clean, so I keep it as sparkly as possible. Wash every other week or so. Wax usually once a year. In between waxes, I use a blend of Meguiars Quick Detail and Klasse Sealant Glaze to keep the shine and water beading at its max.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I try to keep it clean, vehicles last a lot longer when kept clean and shiny. Better for the paint and metal.
