How often you wash your tacomas?

I do the automated brushless and or the hand held sprayer few times a year. Between the salt, polen, and bird shit it needs to be done.

 

Im scared of one of those ripping my fenders off. Plus last time they said my truck was too wide.

 

$35 a month for car wash with brushes. 4-5 times a week. Years ago they scared me but now life is too busy to worry about micro scratches. 1 good wax a year and they all come out. It looks clean and shiny everyday.

 

I should add…North East Ohio gives us salt
5-6 months a year. Keeping the salt off daily or every other day is totally worth the risk of micro scratches.

 

I'd be hesitant with fiberglass components. I recall it being an L shaped arm that sort of makes its way around the vehicle. I usually only use it when I don't feel like waiting in line for the wand.

 

Twice a month if possible but hand wash only. Had my roof and hood painted in the last 18 months and haven’t been back to the automatic car wash since. Today was the first full detail of the year since it’s been such a wet winter.

 

After every snow storm, I send my Tacoma through a brushless wash.

 

I take it to the auto touchless wash every few weeks

 

During winter...not often.

Right now...with all the pollen forming and landing on my Midnight Black Sport, it's getting on my nerves! lol

It's supposed to rain today so I will probably wait until the weekend to wash her.

During warmer months, I'll go weekly to bi-weekly washes.

Photo from about 2 weeks after I brought her home in May 2021:

 

Once a month I pressure wash everything that includes body and undercarriage. I live near the ocean and that salt mist is no joke. Then detail every other month.

 

If I lived up north with all the salt, I’d probably wash my truck daily

 

Every two weeks usually. Sometimes weekly if I have the time. Hit it with chemical guys Hydrosuds and wheel cleaner.

 

All our vehicles - we wash exteriors whenever they look dirty which varies seasonally; generally that is about once a month. Thorough interior cleaning when it noticeably needs it (quarterly-ish). We also try to wax annually (sometimes fail on that).

 

Once every few months.

 

Foam that dirty bitch up real good

 

Once a week until the AZ 110+ summer temps hit. Then it's pig pen season until it cools off.

 

generally once a month, depending on how much fun its had

 

Stupid new owner question here. Historically with my other vehicles I've done automatic touchless car washes every two or three weeks and then hand wash every two or three months. Except in the winter where i do all touchless.

My truck came with a Lomax soft tonneau cover. Will that hold up to the high pressure blast of a touchless car wash? I could roll it up but I'm not sure that would be any better.

 

I wash mine Tacoma once a month sometimes once every two months. However, i wipe it down daily and cover it nightly, since it is parked outside year round. A good duster keeps the dust off and Griot's Ceramic Detailer takes care of everything else. Spray On car wash goes a long way between bucket and soap washes, as well. I care for all my cars the same way. I do live in amazing weather most of the year. Thx.

 

Used to wash it every week until last year, started working from home full time and keep her in the garage so now maybe once a month.
