Here is my question how in the world do you guys have time to do all this washing and waxing? I'd love to keep my vehicle spotless but I just don't have time. I try to wash the car every time it starts looking dirty but sometimes it's dirty for a week or two and I try to wax it every 3 months or so. The truck gets washed and waxed even less. I just don't have the time to do it all.

i keep mine garaged for the work week so it doesnt get as dirty, usually just dusty. And the ****ty Cali water spots so I have to do it early in the morning or as the sun is going down. I paste wax every three months and use spray wax every time I wash. Since the lift its a pain in my *** to clean it. lol

I don't get to clean it that often because I got out to the country. But if I could, I'd clean it once a week, and wax at least once a month. I also spend my days washing and waxing, so I get kinda tired of it by the time the weekend rolls around.

I love washing my truck, and I love spending time doing the interior. Part of the reason my truck is clean is because of how ocd I am. I cannot stand clutter, I literally don't have anything in my truck lol, I can't stand it. I just like the to leave the detailing to the shops, I find it fun getting to pick it up, like a Christmas present lmao. But I enjoy doing the vacuuming, the armoralling, the degreasing, etc.

in the summer time i have lots of free time but during fall and spring season, its hard being home at the right time to do a carwash. in those situations i just put on the tire shine in the morning and makes the truck good as new

I wash semi trucks for a living so I just get done with the semi trucks, get a new mitt, throw some good soap in with some good water thats been ran for a while then I get to washing it. After washing semi trucks for a living it really makes washing my pickup pretty easy and it takes me no time at all, like 20 minutes tops to wash my whole pickup, I also have this stuff called flash that I use on the wheels and wheelwells and engine compartment that is like a safe degreaser and it makes cleaning all of those really easy!!

Yet another truck cleaning thread from my buddy JOE! I let the rain do the washing! Lol, no, j.p. I use Scarbrough carwash and then do the quick detailer between details. i do the wash spray wax and then the quick detailer.
