Is this a good thing? Because it makes me sick to find new ones on my truck.

Thats about the same for me. Sometimes it's so cold that even the diy spray booths are closed. It's either the touchless ones or I drive around in a white salt covered truck.

I hand wash mine every weekend. I have yet to pay for it be washed by anyone but I am considering paying someone to detail the hell out of it. I'm too lazy to wax it.

I am the only one who washes my truck also. I won't let anyone else wash it for me.

I am too ticky about the way I clean it anyway.

Ol' SilverFox is still looking good.

I've never ran it through a wash until this year. One time.

Before that sad day, always hand wash.

I would take mine throw a no touch car wash. But mine wont fit in any car washes so I have to do it myself. I would rather someone wash it for me.

If I could fit through the auto wash I would! So instead, I normally just don't wash it

Y'all make me feel bad now. I guess I'll go wash it this weekend since it has been a few months!

Check out the C&D section for good advice. The sticky at the top of the page has TONS of good info and searching will give you just about any answer you could want.

Most guys in the C&D section have a few hundred invested in products. The more experienced individuals tend to have thousands. I just hit the 750 mark.

Here's before a fellow member taught me the ropes:

And my signature is the finished result.

I love washing and waxing my truck. I love the smell of Megiars NXT on a warm Saturday morning. Wash it, dry it. Crack a beer. Wax one section, crack another beer. Wipe of wax and start all over till she's all shiny and purty. Then totally do the inside.
