i try to hand wash mine once a week during the summer, wax it in the spring and in the fall. I like a clean vehicle, but its too much truck to wax every week as well, even with a spray wax.

When i wax it in spring and fall i do whole process, wash, dry, claybar, correct, wax.

Some of you may know JUST where this pic MAY have been taken at!

C10 however, gets washed once a week and spray waxed weekly or every 2 wks. Usually have it at a car show or 2 every weekend.

Hard to keep mine clean mainly because it's brilliant black crystal pearlcoat and as with any black painted vehicle they get dirty fast. I also live in Iowa so the winters make keeping it clean difficult, and to make matters worse I live in a duplex with no garage. I keep it clean mainly during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. I usually try to do a good wash, claybar, polish, and wax at least once a year if not twice and then in between I wash and spray detail it.

Every time I wash it I feel like Jodi Foster in the accused. Violated!

I was quite **** about washing my truck regularly. However, as so many trucks seem to do around here, my rear fenders have started to rust a lot. Now every time I wash them it I just end up flicking more paint off. Oh well.

Was nice while it lasted.

I call it Clean Therapy, I enjoy cleaning my truck, Its relaxing, try to do it once a week when the weather allows, if it gets to dirty and I cant then it goes to a touchless carwash.

I have always been **** about my vehicles. My friends always make fun of me for it. I pay good money for my vehicles so why not keep them spotless! Here was my 2002 ram sport and my new 2011 ram sport. Love having a clean vehicle....you know they run better when clean!!!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364643506.477661.jpg

I'm usually like this except during winter where the exterior stays dirty
Inside still stays clean though.

It's so hard for me to keep it clean when I have a girlfriend that always wants to go play in the mud and you have a very capable truck in the mud!! But when I wash it I love it clean!!

I've never owned a (real) truck before now; but I have owned several corvettes. I was always jealous of the guys with trucks because I perceived them as never having to wash their truck. Just spray it down once in a while & go.

This was something I was looking forward to with my 2013 ram 2013 laramie. But with a whole section dedicated to detailing, I'm worried I just bought another corvette!

My truck is black... There is no keeping it spotless. :beatdeadhorse5:
