Your Tacoma? Clean? Or you just dont care?

my trucks always dirty inside and out. but sometimes i pay my girlfriend like 5 bucks to clean it out hha

 

D@mn she's cheap

 

Its not super clean but tidy. Works for me.
Winter wash once a week

 

I think it is pretty clean under the dirt, can't really tell what color it is anymore.

 

dirty on the outside clean on the inside...just like women

 

Mine's a truck, and a work truck at that, but it's also the newest lowest mileage vehicle I've ever had so I try to keep it clean. I'm better in the summer. The winter months are so rainy with lots of road grime so it's more about keeping the interior tidy and the windows clean.

I keep one of those dashboard car duster things in the glovebox, it's great for a quick dusting of the dash and console when you're parked waiting for something/someone. I think the weathertechs will help a lot with the floor dirt too.

 

She is a dirty girl in the winter. I make sure she is clean in the spring and summer. My interior is usually real clean as well. Thank god for the WeatherTech mat's I barely ever vacuum. Just pull the mats out and hose them off, voila` brand new again.

 

The Tacoma doesent go out to much when the roads are bad ,if the Corolla will do. If the truck gets dirty it gets washed before it comes in the garage..I see the pictures of some of these new and late model trucks on trails and mud boggs ,with mud from one end to the other and cant believe how someone can do that..

 

I keep it clean, exterior and interior.

 

Clean trucks are ugly, lol. But seriously, I keep the interior clean as much as I can, but it hasn't been washed a few months now. It's always parked out on the street under a tree (not by choice) and it's impossible to keep it clean. Next morning after a wash it's already dirty

 

Just picked up my 2015 Tacoma 4.0 6speed silver sky metallic this August... It's been washed at least once a week, I dry it with my backpack leaf blower. My detailer buddy says the microfiber drying isn't good for the paint over time. Air is best. (My neighbors laugh at me lol) it's been waxed once already and plan on doing it again before winter hits (I'm in ny) always hand washed with microfiber mit and I refuse to subject her to car wash abuse lol. The only time I sat on the cloth of the interior was driving home from dealership and to bed bath and beyond to buy black towels for front seats and a black sheet for rear bench. I bought seat covers a few weeks later but passenger side seat cover came ripped... (I tried to cheap out, lesson learned.) and after the first week I had my weather tech floor liners. Until then I used my rubber mats from my other car. I keep detailing spray and microfiber towels behind rear bench so interior is always clean. I guess you can say I'm a bit anal... I did take her fishing on the drive on beaches twice but that night the under carriage was pressure washed and the whole truck was cleaned the following day.

 

Anddd the truck came from dealer with 11 miles on it and surprisingly dirty, especially the engine bay. Since then it's been wiped clean with detailing spray 2-3 times lol

 

Since my truck's color is silver I wash it every 2 weeks, wax it 2 twice a maybe 3 times a year depends on where I go. It's a truck not a Ferrari

 

Meh - it's a truck. I wash the outside maybe once every couple weeks? Interior I'm not too anal about - just ordered some Wet Okoles.

I'm more mechanically OCD than looks wise - my maintenance has to be top-notch all the time, on both my wife's car and the Taco.

 

I keep the interior pristine. Outside howeverVis a different story. There's no way I can keep it clean, I have wayy too much fun with my truck

I usually just pressure wash everything underneath before I work on it, which has been pretty frequently lately.

 

I don't hardly give a crap anymore, its covered in dirt and road grime as we speak. The paint color was ugly to begin with though. I used to clean it, but it honestly didn't look all that great then either. I keep the interior clean though. It's a truck

 

The word my wife uses to describe my vehicle cleanliness attitude is FANATICAL. Until I started reading this thread, I thought I was the only person who would detail their truck BEFORE going 4-wheelin'....I guess there are other nuts besides me.

^retract that statement now... now it gets washed every time it rains haha. Interior is ruined from tube doors. Good thing it's a toy...

 

I vaccummed my truck on the weekend cause I found a hole in the floor from a rock and needed a clean surface for the sealant to adhere. I try and keep the inside clean but the last few wheeling trips were either super dusty or just epically mucky I need to get a Saturday off work and just spend the day cleaning it. The outside looks great fom 5ft away

 

because it's a truck
