    Clean on the inside always. If I get it dirty doing fun stuff, I'm less likely to wash it until it gets more crap on it from parking under trees. If it gets dirty from normal usage (and a bunch of aphid poop and bird shit, etc) I wash it weekly.

    The plan is to wash it on Sunday's, but when I work 16 hours on Saturday on top of my regular 55 Monday through Friday, it's hard to get off the couch.

    Mine is black so it's dirty more than it is clean. Plus I park outside next to a seemingly never ending pollinating hedge and tree. 2 seconds after I'm done washing, there's pollen on it.

    Still love my black taco!

    During the summer, i wash almost every saturday. But here lately im in class anywhere from 3-6 hours a day and i work once i get outta class. So hardly any time to wash because i work all weekend on weekends also. And my taco lives her entire life outside and my house is back in the woods, so lots of trees. Lets just say, shes always dirty.

    Used to wash it everyday until they tore up all the roads in my neighborhood, cause someone thought it would be a bright idea to have gravel roads until they can repair them.

    In a year.

    I don't wash my truck anymore, it's usually dustier than Hilary Clintons vagina.

    I have washed mine once since April. It's a truck and I like getting it dirty. :) I would like to buff out all of the scuffs from tree limbs down the sides. Most trails I go on are too damn small.

    Dirty. I do clean it at least once a month but it's dirty again within a few days.

    I wash twice a month and give it a spray on wax once a month. Otherwise, I give it a full on meguiars wax twice a year and keep the interior clean. Same as every vehicle I have owned.

    Right now, it is dirty as hell and I'm gonna roll that way for a week or so. Mud splattered trucks look good too!
