I went outside today, it was over 50* and it has not been this warm in weeks. Most of the winter has been between -25 and 15. I hand washed it, dryed it, cleaned the wheel wells and wheels and it took over an hour. I had two QC's before this and they were big, but this one seems to have so much more area to wash.

Any other thoughts?

 

Yes, its taller and it seems to have a bit more metal to wash. I realized when I purchased the Ram that it wasn't a Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier. Once the weather warms a bit, grab a beer or two and enjoy the wash.

 

as big as it is it will take 4-5 beers...

i enjoyed it, until i found a door ding

 

Yeah... there's no way I'm washing this thing myself. When I had my vette it took me 2 hours to wash and detail (I'm a little meticulous). I wouldn't let anyone else wash that thing, but with the truck - that's one of the reasons I got it - I don't care as much and I can just go and get it washed and detailed for $20 when I need to. Then again I washed my last 2 trucks about once a year.

 

It's definitely a lot of sheet metal to wash...lol. I was thinking the same thing last weekend when I washed mine up about how big this truck really is.

 

I am with you sarguy. I had a QC before that I did not mind washing at all. The dang hood on this thing is too tall. I now have a crewcab and I can't reach all of the roof from the bed. It takes much longer too wash than my QC.

 

washing my QC sux majorly! when i go to dry it off i alway leave water spots on the roof and back window cuz i have a tounoe (spl?!) cover so i cant climb in the bed to wipe them down. and everytime i think i am done i find some more spots!! i swear to everything holy water spots breed on my truck!! lol

 

you think those suck, i washed my moms yukon xl once last summer. what a nightmare

 

I went to Wal-Mart and bought a telescoping pole that has a type of wash mitt on the end. Makes it a lot easier to do the middle of the hood up by the cowl and the roof.

 

I always have a 3 step ladder with me when i wash
so i can reach the hard to reach spots
