Post preference = Dirty F150 or Clean F150

What do you like, dirty and full of mud or clean and shiny?

I like both, sometimes I like to show off that this trucks plays in the mud. And other times I have fun removing layer after layer of mud and show off not only my F150 but my nice cleaning job after hours of hard work.

Post pics of your DIRTY truck here. I know, I know its not all brown but the ground is just starting to soften up.

Cool

Got to be clean as a whistle and shining like a brand new penny. Wash it about once a week and like to show her off in the summer. I like to park where the truck will be noticed. I bought the truck last April and everyone called me a liar when I told them that it was a '94. They thought brand new, had to show them the sticker on the side of the door before they would believe me. Gets waxed about every other month with Meguiar's products. Man, don't like my baby dirty, doesn't look good.

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'

I love a clean truck, but what I hate more is a clean truck getting dirty. On the other hand, once it's dirty, it doesn't bother me. In other words, my truck gets pretty grungy looking, but it sure does clean up nice.

This is my first full size truck and I was shocked when it took me an hour to wash and dry it. I do my wifes Explorer in 15 minutes. Then, it took 3+ hours to wash and wax it. Unreal. I must be the slowest guy in the world.

But, it sure looks good when the black paint is shining in the sun!

lovemy4x4, I hope my truck is dirty enough for you My Bronco with 33's was so easy to stack the mud on the sides, roof, hood...

On this truck, my tires aren't wide enough to really splat the stuff everywhere. But I agree, don't do a half-baked job.

F150BOB, the first time I cleaned my truck it took me 7 hours, inside, under, and out. I cleaned the wheel wells and put a fresh coat of black paint. Looks great when you take care of every little detail.

Ditto with Dustoff,

Interior is clean, and the Exterior is SPOTLESS! Its cleaned every 5 days, vacuumed out, and windows cleaned.
