Ouchhh My ears!

 

My baby only has a bath about once a month. Here in Georgia its hard to wash often cause of strict watering bands.

 

Each weekend. Detail washes once a month. Full details including claying, polish, and waxing once per season. In winter spray the salt off every weekend

 

keeping mine clean is a PIA! my jobs driveway is long, and nothing but dust! its rock so when it rains i get some mud splattered on it and my tips get all dull! i wahs it one weekend then sunday i go to work and its dusty already! any tips? i use gliptone body gloss to take off light dust.

i should buy a 500 dollar beater just to use down there

 

That's what I did for work. I work for a paving company (16 years) and their equipment yards are just stone and dirt. All the dump trucks in and out with the dust and what-not just destroys a nice vehicle - and I CAN'T stand mud! Not to mention I can get pretty dirty myself at work with the diesel (what we use to spray the tools, dump truck beds, and the paver down with so the asphalt doesn't stick) plus I'm the paver operator so the fresh asphalt fumes are all over me right away and I'll be damned if I'm getting into a vehicle I payed $34,000 (actually much more once you factor in tax and loan interest) and having my nice vehicle smell like that and get ruined (inside and out).

I'd love to be able to drive the Lightning to and from work, but, it would just get ruined. I don't know about you guys, but I gotta work VERY hard for my money and just can't force myself to not take extra care of my stuff. I got my 92 f150 and it was worth every penny to be able to go to work and not have to worry about it.

 

i hear ya, im workin on a farm from 7-6 everyday cept saturdays. i love taking care of my truck being i spent all my hard earned money on it. i dont think my jobs driveway sounds nearly as bad as yours does. haha. i enjoy cleaning mine on the weekends

 

I try to wash it at the weekend so its at least once a week if no rain is forecast, it does not get real dirty so it does not take so long to do.

 

Mine has not been washed in almost 3 months.The guy that usually details it is going to detail it this weekend.Here are before pics of it now.I'll post pics after the detail!

haha its really a pain keeping off the dust, then i got mud when it rains! even barely moving down the road i get it dirty haha

i usually wash it once a week (saturday) and then a good detail once a month

 

I live on a dirt road so I know how you feel. Exactly 8 tenths up a dirt road. 15 - 20mph seems to keep me clean. Lucky for me its mostly straight through the woods, so its cool and nearly damp and hard clay like, not so dusty

 

Haha, I wish my drive was like that.

8 miles minimum to get to a paved road (which usually isnt the way I go, so usually longer) and I cant stand to drive under 70 MPH most of the time or I want to kill myself.

By the time Im a mile down the road after a fresh was mine is probably already dirty and dusty enough to drive half you guys to drinking Which works good...because Im usually headed in to town to drink...so you can drink and wash mine while I just drink
