20 min. . .one of the largest vehicles to go through the car wash I take it to. plus it's fun to watch the dry boy's try and drive the beast, especialy when I put the TST on 8/8 and they start out in 1st, leaving the parking brake on blowing soot all over the freshly washed AMG next to it

yes, they had to put the AMG back through since there was still water on it, and the soot still hangin around the area. I about died laughing[sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

too bad the door wasnt open. . .that would have been a nice fragrance

I used to be able to take it to a car wash, but now they claim that my truck is too big and won't let me go through. [:@]

My truck fits through just fine, it is funny watching them clean it. They jump and stuff to dry the high places, lol. I always make sure to leave a good tip

I spray mine off once or twice a week to keep it pretty clean, then about once a month, i spend 3-4 hours really cleaning it good by hand.

I wash mine at work. Long handle scrub brush comes in handy. Takes me to wash and dryabout an hour. Another thirty minutes give or take to do the interior.

Living along the coast it's hard to keep it clean because when I use my truck in the mornings. I have to rinse off the truck to get the morning salt air dew off.

$15 once a week or so to drive it through the carwash. If the inside is empty then $25 for them to detail it inside and out but this usually takes them 30 minutes or so I rarely have it done. The outside it not as good as I would do it but since I dont have the time to do it all its good enough.

My trucks to big to fit threw the carwash, besides Id go postal if one of the washing arms or other mechanisms dented, scraped or dinged the side of my truck. Even when I paid 15 bucks and went threw with my old truck, Id have to spend time at home hitting all the spots it missed. Plus its nothing but high school kids working at the one by my house and they all could give a sh*t what kind of job they do anyway.
