I've looked at lots of low mileage vehicles that were utter crap, and some with very high mileage that looked fantastic. It's all about how you take care of it, have to admit I'm pretty lazy, but when I'm buying, it's gotta be spot on.

 

So does it make you wonder how clean his toilet is?

 

I'd say it's pretty clean if he's scrubbing by hand with them blue shop towels.

Although, he's probably scratched the hell out of the porcelain.

 

Give me a break buddy, we're talking about a pick-up truck not a Rolls Rolce. My paint is fine.

Anything you get from a brush or papertowels is solved by a power-polish.

 

Id hate to see how you would clean a Rolls Royce . Probaly run it threw the automatic carwash where the spinning brushes make it all nice and clean

 

I never take my truck to the car wash unless it's winter. Then I go and spray the salt off of it twice a week. I will admit I use towels to dry it. If you look at it from an angle with the sun hitting it just right it looks like swirl city.

 

cmon guys, not everyone has to have their paint "spotless". And not everyone uses their truck like well a truck. Im sorry, but the mud and tree branches can do alot worse than those shop towels. Shoot, a bug hitting the front will do more to the paint than those towels. Yes, I too laugh at people that use the car wash because you can do alot more and alot better at home. I clean mine and make it spotless, once a year. I wash it regularly, after it has been in mud and such. So use your truck how you want to. and also wash it how you want to. Dont criticize someone just because you like your truck muddy or spotless.

Fixed it.

Personally, if I could afford a Rolls Royce I would never wash it. I'd pay people to do it.

What's your issue with this? You start a thread to rip on someone (that can't defend himself) for the way he washed then dried HIS new truck, because it doesn't agree with how you would do it.

Look after your truck the way you want to, but don't give everyone else crap for how they choose to look after theirs.

 

How would you defend washing your truck with paper towels? My other issue is these people saying they use the brush at the car wash and there paint is fine. Yes im calling them out on it cause they are full of crap . My main thing was to tell how this guy was drying his truck. Didnt plan on getting in a discussion about the brush.

 

A visit to the optometrist is in order... posthaste!

 

he was just talking about seeing someone washing a truck with a brush. give him a break. IMO people who don't see the problem with it aren't the people he was talking to.


Anyway, that brush causes terrible problems to the paint on that brand new truck. I caught a guy doing that to an srt10 ram and another on a 2010 camaro ss. made me sad. And just FWIW, to me at least, a clean vehicle always feels so much better than a dirty one

 

I saw an old man one time painting the roof of his 57 chevy with a brush.....Probably not a good idea either. But it was his car, lmao!

 

I only wash mine every other month, I let the rain keep it semi clean

 

You're very defensive for such a trivial topic.

Perhaps you should open a news paper or book to find worthwhile things to argue about.

You might as well have posted this in the Wash & Detail section if you wanted to go on a Mr. Sparkle rampage.
