White Trucks Suck

I just got back from the carwash. It seems no matter how hard I try, i can't get my truck clean. after i wash it, i can rub my hand over the body and wipe dirt away still. it doesnt matter if i use the laserwash or do it myself, it never seems to come completely clean. im to the point to where i will never buy a white vehicle again. perhaps it needs a good wax job? if anyone has any good solution to clean a white vehicle please share the trick

Spoken like someone with absolutely NO clue what they are talking about

Light colored cars are the EASIEST to keep looking clean. Tan/champagne probably being the easiest, and other light colors right behind.

Your problem lies in the fact that you are relying on drive-thru crappy washes, and your truck has probably never seen a coat of wax in its life.

Get a real professional to properly clean it, and you will know what I mean.

Ive never had any trouble keeping any of my three trucks clean, all white. Just use those coin op DIY washes. They came out looking like new every time. No matter how much mud they had on them

You're lazy you don't deserve a clean truck. You have one of the top 5 easiest colors to keep clean and you still can't handle it? Try owning a black truck...

yea my previous truck was white and that was the easiest thing to keep clean. You could go weeks without washing and it would still look great. I always loved the look of a nice clean black truck hence the reason I bought this one. BIGGEST mistake. The thing is the biggest pain in the *** to keep clean and EVERY little scratch shows up. Always having to detail to make it look good. White is so easy to take care of
