What part of Indianaare you from?

Personally in the summertime my truck never has one speck of dirt on it because I was it about once a week (usually every saturday). And everytime I wash my truck I use some Turtle wax quick spray wax while drying my vehicle off. That Being said my Truck is good for 4-5 hard paste waxes a year. I usually do it on one of those days its about 50 degrees out right before it starts to get cold out, right when it starts warming up and about two or three times in the summer.

I wash whenever I figure a) it won't be dirty by the time I get home (wet salty roads) or b) when I have time. I try to wax it mid spring and the first part of fall. Sometimes but not often during the summer.
