How often do you wash / clean your truck?

01Burb · September 14, 2003

Once per week at least. Maybe 3 times in two weeks.

I have a black ext.cab and I am anal big time about my truck.I wipe it down with the california car duster every day and I wipe the brake dust off of the factory wheels everyday.If someone rests there arms ont he side of my bed of the truck I will tell them in a nice way please dont lean on it.I am like this with my truck but it always looks nice.I even wipe the engine down 2 times a week and even the oil pan.Yeah I know it,I am really sick but I love it and I have always been like this.

I have a black crew cab and I clean it everytime before I drive it. Usally washed 2-3 times a week and use a quick detailer or clean it before it ever leaves the driveway. Even if it is a short run across town. I only drive it on weekends too and it sits in the garage all week except for short drives. 5-10 mile a week on Mon-Fri! Just like my wife says, I'M SICK! I need HELP! But I do drive a clean truck!

Dittos! on my 2003 Tahoe (Grey Matllic Swirl)!

When you spend like $43.5K, you have to protect your investment, I do my best to keep it showroom finish everyday... I even armoural the engine compartment at least once a week. I do the same thing with the new 2003 Buick LeSabre Limited I jsut bought for my wife...

cheers

yep black, needs to be washed all the time and with the SS-it is a respect thing

maybe less than twice a week, maybe more it depends on the weather.

It depends on the time of year. When it's warm it is from 2 to 4 times a month. When it gets cold, once a month.

My Wife's Yukon XL is Pewter and is in a garage. Some weeks it does not even get moved and other weeks it may be out 1 or 2 days. A California Duster and Duragloss Fast and Shine keep it looking nice and shiny in between washes. If she drives it in the rain, I do not rest well until I have it cleaned up again. She says that I am sick and I guess she is right. The sickness is in my family genes. My Dad would not be caught dead driving a dirty vehicle.

BTW, he used to be in the Used Car business and I worked for him. I was his detail guy and have washed as many as 12 to 15 cars in a day. And I do not mean with a pres washer and a brush on a pole like you see car lots doing today. He would have killed me if I would have put a brush on any of his cars including the ones on his car lot.

Once a week minimum. Like to keep the truck nice and shiny.

Okay, I am going to get a lashing here but oh well. You people have some serious issues...LOL... I voted once a month and its lucky to get that. Its black I live out in the country (rock/dirt roads) so as soon as I wash the truck it is dirty 5 mins later. I mean its a truck right?? Seriously though I suppose if I lived in a different location I would wash it more but really for me it is pointless. I do keep the inside vaccumed and dash is wiped down more often than I clean the outside. But you guys that clean it every morning before you go to work I think you need to seek some professional help...

^ I agree ^

I don't wash my truck until my @$$hole friends start writing messages in the built-up dirt and mud or if some nasty, gooey crap gets all over it. It would be pointless to wash it much more often than that, since like kssooner said, it will be dirty again in five minutes. The interior is a little different, I'll clean it out every month or so.

Mine is a daily driver so I voted twice a week I hate a dirty vehicle

grayghst · November 25, 2006

Washed once a week and detailed once a month.

4doorluv · November 25, 2006

twice a month, my girlfriend gets mad at me cuz i take alll day

stinger26 · November 26, 2006

I voted once a month, but my washing habits vary quite a bit. I'll go through a few weeks where I gotta keep it clean, and I'm wiping every little spot that gets on it off every day. Then I'll go through a few weeks where I let the thing get as dirty as I can get it. I even take it out on the dirtiest, dustiest roads for the fun of it. Now is one of those dirty times. It needs a wash.

I do keep the inside clean and pristine though all the time.
