I keep the interior clean, treat the leather surfaces, and will wash bugs etc off the windshield occasionally. The exterior has never been washed as I wheel every weekend. I acknowledge I should probably do a better job of caring for the exterior finish, but it literally sees dirt every weekend so it's hard for me to justify the time and expense.

It's meant to be an outdoor car. I'll wash if it's really dirty and you can't see out the windows anymore.

I keep it tidy inside and clean outside. I do get it dirty, but wash it afterwards because it's easier to wash before the dirt gets baked on. I wash it more in the summer. I apply a coat of ceramic spray twice a year to help water beading. Tire cleaner/shine twice a summer.

I detail it at least once a week myself. The entire thing has been ceramic-coated, and the whole front end and fenders are clear-wrapped. I detail under the hood and inside the wheel wells and suspension, in addition to the bed, each week. I'll say it for you so you don't have to.......I am OCD/Neurotic with cars.

P.S.- I do off-road the beast and have done some high speed sand running as recently as last week. I just come from a play hard/work hard standpoint with vehicles and their care.

You don't have a "it depends on my mood and the season" choice.

At times it will be spotless inside and out, other times it will likely go a while as I get busy and keep my other cars spotless inside and out. Yes, you could eat off the engine of one of those. Even the driveshafts and exhaust get cleaned to spotless now and then. Literally white rag treatment on one of them.

Now the outside is clean, the inside not so much. TOO COLD.
It will get the salt washed off and a thorough cleaning inside and out when the weather breaks.

Hi guys, this is my first post and new to the forum.
Indeed, I keep mine so clean that it looks like it has never been driven.

The difference between Friday night and Saturday afternoon :CWL:


ETA: It does not get this muddy very often. I have about 5-6 hours so far into cleaning it, and I still have sand coming out of crevices.
