How often do you wash and wax your truck?
It only takes me a 'bout 2½ hours to do both our vehicles each Sunday. That includes hand wash, dry, QD, interior, and tire dressing.
Dusting each day is a whopping 30-60 seconds before I leave for work. I do it at night if they mow the lawn at work... dust/pollen everywhere!

QD and maintain shine daily. Since I dont have access to a good place to wash the truck I keep it spotless all the time and get a wash in maybe once a month. Wax it about every 2 weeks and full detail about every 2-3 months (wash, clay, polish, seal, etc).
Being in FL, I usually hand wash my truck once a week. Sometimes more depending on how much rain we get (and subsequent splatters). But Im 34, single, and love my Ford's. I QD them a few times a week, and even on my 2 year old daily driver, folks cant believe how clean it is. I find out that a quick 5 minutes in the garage every night / other night after work, keeps the "big maintenance" at bay, and always keeps the truck looking new.
Its gets a wax job every month, and I usually strip the wax off and fully Clay it about 3-4 times a year.
But Im also the type that will park my 97 Mustang GT 10 spaces farther out than the last car in the lot to save it from door dings (which, I am proud to say, being 7 years old, doesnt have a ding on it). My GF thinks Im crazy, but her 6 month old VW already has 2 dents (from taking the first parking space available).

I wash, on average, twice per week but, I've been known to wash up to six times in one week (and that week has been repeated more than once). As of this moment though, my truck hasn't been washed in nearly 4 weeks.
Wax happens about once every two months depending on time constraints.

I spray wax every day.Takes about 20 minutes to do that and the outside windows.Only need to wash when it rains.The spray wax is a quickie that lasts till it gets wet.I hard wax every 2 weeks.The Weld rims get polished every day.You gotta keep up on them.I wipe down the interior every other day or so. Most say I am nuts,but I just love my truck clean.I guess cleaning is my therapy....lol

Also washed every week. People are astounded when they see
how clean it is. I finish it off with Wax As You Dry and it looks
awesome. It is dark green, and really sharp

I get in a hand wash at least once every 2 weeks, a wax maybe ever 3-4 months and a through and through detail (wash, clay, polish, wax) every 6 months.
