Mine is a truck. I use it like a truck. I'm never going to detail it. Ever. If it's really dirty, I'll go through a car wash. I'm sure I could spend a ton of time keeping it pristine, but I'd rather spend my time doing other things. Some day when I'm on my death bed and looking back at what I did during my life, incessant work to keep a truck shiny probably won't make the top 10. I'm sure I'm in the minority.
Same here. I had a black and chrome Ram for 15+ years. It was difficult to keep clean. After the first year or so, I stopped worrying about appearance everyday and treated it like a truck. It made lots of trips through car washes. Yes, you could see swirls if you looked real close in direct sunlight. It would turn yellow every spring for several weeks when it got coated with sticky pine pollen. And it sat in the Florida sun the entire time, it was never garaged. Despite all that, it still looked fabulous when it was clean. It even looked pretty damn good when it was a bit dirty.
With all that said, I now own a white Ram--which required a huge visual adjustment on my part. It took me a couple of months to get used to the white. I still get a bit envious when I see a black Ram. My decision to buy a white truck this time was strictly based on vehicle price, rather than the maintenance necessary to keep a black truck looking decent. I still prefer black and chrome over white, but white does not require constant washing--unless you just want to do it. Some people enjoy it.
I know a fellow who has a white truck, and he washes it daily. I don't know if he enjoys it or if it's just a good way to escape the wife for a while. Maybe it's "therapy" for him? It's certainly therapy for me to sit in the shade and drink a cold beer and watch him sweat his buns off washing an already clean truck!
