    Well mine is kinda muddy right now, but it’s going to storm later today. will let it get rained on and will probably do a hand wash tomorrow. also will do spray wax and spay detailer, they both get done every time i wash the truck and it stays looking very nice for a little bit longer. also may do a wax not sure, depends if it has any scratches from off roading sunday.(i think it may have some small ones that will wax right out.)

    Well it was the 1st time washing mine yesterday and vacuumed and detailed it. Also did the girlfriends 2010 Maxima so looking to start a trend of vacuum whip everything down and wash every Sunday. (Also 1st 60F day i'll be waxing both vehicles) Time to grow up and take care of my things.

    I usually wash the ol' truck every three to four weeks. But wondering how often you guys get your trucks waxed/detailed?

    the "biggest" thing ive had done was having my carpet and seats shampooed a few weeks ago because i got sick while driving lol

    Every single Friday... Since I work 4-10's I have Fridays off so I detail the hell out of it if it's dirty or not.

    I even get on a creeper and clean underneath the truck and on the inside of the rims... I could have OCD :D

    Haven't detailed the truck yet. Will probably do it sometime later this year. I detail my cars once or twice a year. Wash them regularly.

    Is now SuperCharged
    Depending on the weather my 13 dbcb gets washed at least 1-2 times a week. Sometimes more. I'm on a $36 a month charge for their Premium washes and I can run it through twice per day if I want to. The Premium wash on its own is $16 so it's a no brainer for me and my wife's car. Best $72 a month, for both our vehicles, I ever spent. Especially, since both of our cars are black. Black is a mofo to keep looking clean. lol

    I give my truck a rinse once every 2 weeks or so, and give it a real soap wash once a month. I haven't gotten around to waxing it since it was purchased back in early November.

    Pollen is on an assault here so I had to rinse it this past weekend. No point in washing yet, because 2 hours later and there is already pollen accumulating again. Good thing all that rain came through and hopefully hosed out majority of the trees/plants

    I take it in for a wash at the dealer once a month or so. They do a reasonably good job.

    Still trying to figure out how to fit it into my shower stall!

    ...I actually let the dealer handle it whenever it goes in for an oil change - so maybe twice a year. Otherwise, Mother Nature can just get off her fat arse and rain on the damn thing! I contribute by not driving, thus, it gets washed. ;)

    I think the real question is how many burger wrappers can you stuff behind the seat - THAT needs a poll...!
