How hard is it to keep your Tacoma Clean?

My MGM is pretty easy to keep clean. Haven't had a chance to wash her in the last couple of weeks though. We've been moving in to our new house. Come Monday when I'm off though it'll be time for some TLC. I've got to get her inspected and change the oil.

 

MGM easy to keep clean? That is a first. What kind of climate/road conditions do you have where you live? Or do you just keep the thing in your garage all the time??

 

Mines really hard to keep clean because I'm always playing in the dirt.

 

Can anyone comment on whether it is easier to keep Magnetic Gray or Nautical Blue clean?

 

This ^ Either I'm very picking or MGM is extremely difficult to keep clean.

 

I feel the silvers or the "tans" would be the best colors to "hide the dirt" in the Tacoma Line. All the colors you have choosen are going to show the dirt more do to being darker colors...

 

Nautical Blue is pretty easy to keep clean actually. Even after going to my cottage for a weekend it was hard to tell it was dirty.

 

Pyrite mica always looks ok with minimal effort... and I live on a dirt road.

 

I have Impulse Red. It needs to be kept clean to look good.
I pay $30 a month for an unlimited pass to the local Super Sonic car wash.
I hit it 2-3 times per week.
I try to keep my truck looking spotless, I must be OCD.

The wash I get would be $12 a pop if I did not buy the pass.
Takes less then 10 minutes and looks perfect every time.

 

Silver Streak Mica looks clean even when covered in mud. This is right after a 3 hour wheelin' trip through some dirt, sand, and mud.

 

I've owned my SSM for 8 months now and only washed it twice. Had 3 black vehicles and one dark blue and was always washing them every other weekend.

 

I don't want to remove the protective layer that has built up over time. I really don't want to see the scratches and paint dings I know are hiding under there. Silver really hides most crude.

 

I had a super white 1st and no matter how dirty it got, it was still white and looked clean. Kinda regret the MGM decision this round but it sure does look nice when it's clean.....

 

I'm a car fanatic and extremely hard to please when it comes to cars and keeping them clean, but my '12 MGM is fairly easy to keep clean. It can have a light layer of dust on it and it's hard to see. I also have an '07 Silver 4Runner and it doesn't show much either.

 

Radiant RED, it looks nice but it shows a lil bit of everything.


REDRUM

 

BLACK impossible to keep clean never clean.

 

Black sand pearl, baby. Just have to keep up with the washing and it's fine. My interior is pretty much spotless and I fully detail it once a month. I give it a bath when necessary. The only thing I have a problem with is trying to get all the mud off of the belly of my truck. That shit's a pain in the ass.

 

I am pretty OCD about keeping a clean truck and I live in the country with lots of dust. Very happy with Pyrite Mica. I keep a good coat of wax on it and even when it gets a good layer of dirt on it it still looks pretty clean. Stays clean way longer than the white pre-runner my kid drives.

 

Barcelona red 2009 Taco 4X4 Sport here, I live on a dirt road and I have to wash it at least once a week. I don't mind though. lol.

 

PM - Live on the coast, always have sand all over the floors, salt water, fog, dirt, melted surf wax on the gate...never totally clean but looks awesome dirty or clean
