Let's say it rains every other day... Do you wash your truck on the days it's not raining?

The reason I ask is because I'm on wash #4 over the past 5 days. Damn afternoon rain showers.

I wash it usually once a week... or not at all... Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm going to a meet or something, then I'll wash it. If I see my truck is covered with bird poop or something else, then I'll wash it.

Just dirty... ermmm....

 

Well I until I can figure out how to remove the swirls and the insane amount of cobweb marks on my truck i 'll wash it. Last time was about 2 weeks ago for the first time in 3 months without wax either. That's because I broke down and gave it a once over with Platinum. Other until I can find a way to remove the swirls and get some new pads for my PC, I'm letting it go. Usually on a normal basis, couple times a month,,,,91

 

Last year when it was new, I was pretty **** about it, but now that it's old, I've relaxed somewhat.

I still give it a heavy paint treatment 2x a year, but now it's a touchless car wash once a week, and a hand wash once per week.

I've turned into a lazy sumbich.

Sometimes I wash mine while it's raining!

 

My truck's only been washed five times since the day I bought it! Oh wait, I just bought it 3 1/2 weeks ago. Never mind.

 

On average, every other week during the warm months. Just no time, plus 3 vehicles to do.

Maybe there is something wrong with that #26 you like so much. Unless I drive my vehicles on the freeway in the rain, they stay pretty clean after a couple showers.

 

If it hasn't been raining then every other week. When it don't rain about all I have to do is take the cal duster to it. Durning the rain season sometimes once a week, depends...

 

I wash mine usually every weekend if it's not raining. If it rains, I wait until the next sunny day.

 

I wash mine at least twice a week... I don't use wax often so I need to a lot I generally wash parts of it that get dirty really often such as the chrome running bars and that stuff down there at least once a day...

 

I wash mne everyother day...no matter clean or dirty..

 

Man, I thought I was the only one that did that! I usually try to get mine every other weekend.

Hey 01, you might check with the pro detailers out here on this, but I read somewhere that using a duster was very bad for the finish (I believe the article said it put a lot of scratches in the finish). At any rate, just tryin' to pass along something I'd read.

Like BigDeal... I thought I was the only one that did that. ROFL!

I'm not sure how the Cali duster could scratch as there is not pressure applied (if you're using it correctly).

I guess it could though... not sure...

I use one religiously (have for years and years) and have never noticed any scratching.... then again, like I mentioned, I apply no pressure. Just the weight of the fibers running across the surface...that's it.

About 4 times a week. It seems though, that anytime a friend spots it , the truck is dirty. Oh well. /
