Both my truck and Jeep get a full bath once a month with the pressure washer, right down to steam cleaning under the hood.
A full wax with buffer, vacuum and full detail right down to wheels and tires is about a once every three month deal with a spray on type detailer after the washes that come in between the full detailing times...

Maybe once every 2 months or so, which includes a full detailing in and out with a few coats of wax. Its garage kept every other month, so no need those months

...Ahhhahahahahahahahaaa

I just had to.
My hosed are removed and I use my compressor to blow the water out of the lines. Did you know that leaving water in the lines causes the hose to over expand and then when you use it in the summer months, the hose is prone to kinks where it was over expanded???
Anyways, if I had left the water on to the hoses outside, last week the high was 7* during the day. Got down to -11* without wind chill. Was the coldest week in winter in 7yrs. Global warming..ppfftttt


Tank, you need to get a pic of your truck with your bike in the back! What color? Orange sits pretty against black! You prob got a green machine huh?

There's a plce by my house called Mikes Car wash. $15 bucks but it does an amazing job. I go there during winter. My truck gets washed and vacuumed almost every week.

I wash mine probably every 3 days. Especially now that it's cold and salt gets everywhere.
