How Often do you Wash your Truck?

[Ed HD]

Simple as that! How often do you wash your truck? Which truck, that's up to you (made multi-vote, for all your trucks!).

 

[ak diesel driver]

hardly ever. between the rain and the snow it keeps most of the big chunks off and the rest of the time (when it's dry) is too short to bother

I wash my truck very 6 months to a year.

 

[saratoga]

Usually once a week.

I wash my 07 GMC every other week and do a full detail, inside and out, twice a year. My 84 Chevy CUCV is camouflage and usually has the camper on it, so just gets the mud knocked off within a day or two of getting home from each trip. The Suburban - well, I don't remember the last time it was washed...

My dmax gets the under carriage washed monthly but I'm tired of losing paint so the ext doesn't get washed.

All others get full hand wash and undercarriage sprayed monthly.

Ol blue hasn't been washed in 10yrs atleast and 93 has been in the shop for a yr.

Once a month...or so for me. The embarrassing part is I operate a mobile cleaning service haha. I wash mostly houses and commercial concrete though. I get made fun of at times, but oh well I try to keep er clean.

I quit washing it when the paint wouldn't stay on. Once you decide that paint is just corrosion control washing becomes pointless.

2-3 times a year. One time a year try to wax it and do a good overall cleaning. It use to be more often but too busy now and it doesn't quite clean up as good as it did new to me. I try not to let it get bad cruddy and will wipe dash off and clean windshield if it gets bad between washings. A clean windshield and dash is way more important to me and it feels cleaner. Some dust and a little mud doesn't look as bad on a truck as a sports car. I have a long driveway and it gets dusty so trying to keep it sparkling is out of the question.

That about says it. I rattle can PAINT mine more than I wash it. And that is just to keep the rusty spots down.

Not as much as I should. Pretty much monthly in the summer, and maybe once or twice in the winter to get the salt and road chemicals off.

 

[cornemuse]

I washed my blazer about 8 years ago. Cleaning windows dont count!

[bison]

Can't remember the last time,..i think it was when i got it 5 yrs ago.

 

[Burning oil]

Every few years weather it needs it or not.

 

[JayTheCPA]

About as often as a Parisian takes a bath . . .

 

[Chevypoor]

My 95 Chevy is a work truck so maybe twice a year. The tires never seem to stop rolling long enough for a wash!

I understand that issue.

Whenever it needs it. It maybe 2 days and it might be a month. Whenever it looks dirty to me. Which might be clean looking to someone else and my clean may be dirty to someone else. I detail it and wash the undercarriage about every 6 weeks. If I have just cleaned it and 2 days later I have been in the mud and dirt and trashed it it gets cleaned up.

What is the paint issue a lot are talking about?? IMWTK!!
