How often do you wash and wax your truck?


Recommended Posts

I'd like to wash her weekly, but with new construction around me, the weather, and work away from work, it doesn't always happen. As for wax, that's an every 2 or 3 washings type of thing. I've put on some Meguiars NXT the last 2 washes and she looks great.

I washed the Blazer twice a week when I drove it everyday. It's got a dark teal/blue/green/metallic thing going on, so it looks dirty after a dirty look.

 

I wash my 02 about once every other month, whether it needs it or not. It's white, so it only looks dirty when you park it next to a clean, white car.

I try to wash something once a week - either the Suburban or the Subaru. Suburban is easy to keep clean since it is garaged. :smash: Poor Subaru is stuck outside :devil: and is my commuter car. I love washing the truck, but I'm wiped out after it. I could wash 3 cars with the energy I burn washing the truck. Wax like 99silver, about every 3 washes.

Hi All,

I wash my Burb about once a fortnight and wax about every second month with turtle coloured wax.

Supurban, I also have a Subaru, it's primarily my wifes car so gets washed only when serviced......or when I can guilt her into it! :thumbs:

You aren't old enough to know what a fort night is? Hmmm, neither am I. :thumbs:

Since I only drive the truck two days out of the week (stuck in the FERD F150) I wash it twice, once Saturday mornings, and Sunday night when it goes back up for the week.

 

 

If I get bugs on it I'll usually wash it inbetween.

 

Wax--I try to wax once every month or month 1/2.

 

 

The black car---every other day, and wax once a month -- clay/polish/wax every other month.

 

 

Yeah I'm weird... :thumbs:

Lol,

I had to think about that for a minute! Didn't realize I was speaking 'old people speak'!!!

Actually, that's a real common term here amongst all ages.

If it makes you feel younger, I meant every 'couple 'a' weeks'! :banghead::banghead::fume:

Are you kidding? d**n and I thought I was anal washing my truck weekly! :banghead: You are going to wear the paint off!

 

I got the interior and exterior treated when I bought my HD, not sure if it was worth the money, but supposedly I won't have to wax that often.

Lol. When I picked up the the truck, the next day I clayed, polished and waxed it. Honest to God it was more shiney AFTER I picked it up than when I drove it off the lot. Both neighbors said so and my wife..lol :thumbs::banghead:

I wash my truck just about once a week. It's hunting season now so I don't wash it as much it only gets all dirty running around the farm. But once a week on the wash on adverage. I wax it at least 3 or 4 times thru the summer. I have a orbital buffer I use on it and I only use Ardex washes and waxes. They have a polish/cleaner just for black and it makes it look good! I'll also hit it with some of that quick detail once in a while. That's also got some waxes in it. :thumbs:
