How often do you wash your truck ?

I wash mine every 2-4 weeks, depending on the weather and any planned trips coming up.

 

I wash maybe twice a year, but i do hose it down every 2 weeks. When I see the layer of dirt.

 

The Golden Nozzle was my old porn name

 

I hope your talking about your truck.

 

That's not really an excuse to purposefully blow through your paint. You shouldn't need to polish that often. If you do you either A. Are actually causing marring while polishing or B. Your wash methods are so horrible it's scratching the crap out of the paint.

You don't need to polish for the truck to look nice. Get yourself a high quality sealer and stick to paint correction once a year. Hell of a lot less work on your part.

When you eventually blow through your clear coat, truck ain't going to look so hot anymore. But I guess you are taking the attitude that it's "the next owners problem".

 

I have the unlimited wash as well, my 2 year old loves going thru the wash. So I'm there at least twice a week.

 

Yup I hate my truck being dirty.

 

Wash it 1-2 times during the week usually, then once on the weekend

 

I usually wash the exterior once every couple weeks and the interior and wax once a month.

The truck goes offroad a lot, so it would be a massive waste to wash it super frequently. Plus I think a muddy truck looks badass.

 

wanting to detail the inside of my engine bay asap. im quite the ocd/perfectionist too. how do you guys clean your engine bay? anything i should do beforehand, things to avoid getting wet, prepping, etc? thanks!

 

I wash mine every two weeks or so and apply Klasse in the spring and fall.

 

I will say that you have a little OCD with washing your truck but that is fine. My question is how often are you putting paint protection on your car?

I hope often as you are putting whatever coating, sealant, and or wax through a work out.

 

I used to wash it every Sunday....then that turned into every other sunday....now with winter i just wait for rain. Once spring rolls around she'll get the lovin she deserves. I do love a shiny black truck

Yeah I think I'm just going to use the self serve hand bay at the local car wash instead of freezing my hands off like I have in past winters. No hand wash/dry till spring... going to have to get used to seeing the grayish tint on my black paint. And water spots.

 

Yea the water spots are painful but the mothers quick wash/wax stuff is decent so every so often ill just spray that on and wipe and its good enough to get me through until the weather warms up

 

My 97 Taco has been washed maybe 10-20 times in 20 years. It's a truck, not my baby.

It doesn't even have a name, let alone a girl's name. It's always been referred to as the Toyota when we have to decide which vehicle we are taking somewhere that day.

Now that we have three Toyotas and one Ford, we might have to be more specific. Two white Toyota trucks, a blue Toyota Corolla, and blue Ford truck.

But this whole washing, waxing and detailing isn't in my blood. I live in Oregon, it gets washed everyday from mid September till mid June naturally. No need to wash during the dry summer months.

 

What do you guys/gals use to wash and wax your roof? I have a 2nd gen with a small lift and its a PITA to reach it!

 

Get in the bed. Or a 6' ladder lol

 

Yea I usually get into the bed but right above where my rear view mirror is a bitch to get to like the front of my truck is fading

 

I can't remember the last time I washed and waxed my truck, but as a used truck buyer I'm grateful there are people like you out there.
