I hope you let him know that he can’t park there.

I really like a clean and shiny truck. I do my best to keep them looking like new.

Same! Of course I do the same for my tools, chainsaws, etc. Just a mindset I guess

I pay almost $30 a month for a car wash club. You better believe I get my money's worth by washing my truck almost every day.

That's what rain is for!

It's a ranch truck.
Bought my '21 JTR January '23.
My helper washed it once.
I think I hosed it off once.
My visiting son-in-law, who's a bit anal, washed it once.
In the Spring when it is a bug magnet
I lay a wet towel over the windshield
and then the grille to soften the bugs and wipe them off.
But it is always kept under a carport.

I washed it when the service tech complained they couldn't see the brake cable to service it. I try to flush the undercarriage evert time I wheel but a lot really hangs up. Salt air will eat.the body faster than any dirt I get on it.

I usually clear bra my vehicles and then seal the paint/wheels

After that it's quick air compressor / rinse for mud and moon dust and then occasionally apply rainx to exterior glass

Interior is cleaned at least 1x a week

I bought my 2020 JTR somewhere around March 2020. Here she is with her sisters.

I'm retired and get out with it a lot but as far as washing it goes; I usually only wash it when I have to remove a LOT of mud. In fact, I can gauge how good of a time I had by how much it costs me at the self-service car wash to get it clean again...LOL

That's an awesome fleet!!!

I have a Subaru Outback (‘10) in New England with nearly 200k miles on it, bought with 38k miles 10 years ago, and I’ve never washed it once. I don’t even do the undercarriage rinse for salt. Looks great! Use me as a control on the other side of the coin, but Subaru did come out swinging with that generation change; most reliable car ever.

I keep mine pretty clean. Just depends on the road grime i pick up. There is a huge difference in Daily driver dirt and trail dirt.

In my area there is very little difference between DD dirt and trail dirt (pavement dirt almost as bad as trail dirt).

 

[AustyPosty]

Bought it brand new 2 weeks ago. It’s already filthy. Gonna wash it soon and get some PPF for the hood.

Had mine for over a year and still keep it obsessively clean inside and out. I keep my Gladiator looking it’s shiniest best most of the time. My dog is a crazy shedder and comes with me everywhere however you can barely notice any dog hair inside. It is time consuming keeping up with the dog hair but worth it lol. I easily spend 2-3 hours washing/clean after offroading. I have quite a few pin stripes now so i’m about to spend even more time with the Jeep fixing the paint

Between the Jeep and my Lawn/yard that I also obsessively maintain I end up spending all day outside which is what it’s all about.

I think I clean mine about every six weeks. It works hard though! 5 years and 177,000 miles while getting beat on the trails, towing, hauling, and daily driving. I think I stopped pampering mine around month 2.

 

[Sempe-Fi Rubicon]

I just past the 2 year mark in ownership. I would wash weekly until I did the ceramic coat.at the 7 month mark. Now I only have to wash it after wheeling trips. My jeep lives outside and the Florida rain keeps her clean. It poured here last night and this is how clean she is , last time I washed her 2.5 months ago.

 

[Mightytalldude]

Coming up on 5 years in September. It gets a hand wash about every 2 weeks. Looks pretty on the top side, but the underside shows the trail damage everywhere. No mall crawler.
