Do you keep your vehicle clean?

[Billy Goat]

Hahaha.

No, far from it.

Dash still has dog shake on it from 4 years ago, it was only a few months old at the time.

 

[Tod osier]

I park in my shop, so all the trash comes out of the truck every time I come home, or buy fuel. Whichever comes first.

Washed at least once a week. Windows cleaned a little more.

Dash wiped down and floors vaccumed about once a week, unless they get dirty before.

Do you stay on top of it?

I try to keep trash from accumulating, but the interior is dusty and the floor mats accumulate dirt that I leaf blow out a couple times a year (love a truck with the carpet delete and weather tech mats for this). I wash the truck if it gets really dingy like it is now, so I need to do that and wax once a year max. I pressure wash and fluid film the underside annually.

 

[Drenalin]

ehh sorta

My trucks seem to look worse the cleaner they are. So they dont get washed all that much. Why I keep buying dark colored trucks I will never know.

I keep my ford fairly clean, the tacoma on the other hand....It seems to get trashed pretty quick. I want to swap out the carpet for a rubber floor one of these days.

Everything about this is right, except the McCafe...I don't know how people stomach their coffee. I swear they put McNugget grease in it.

I don't want to, but I have to...what is "dog shake"?

 

[03mossy]

I keep my truck spotless inside. Outside is tough to keep clean living on gravel. If you stay on top of it it takes 5 mins to vacuum out once a week. It’s the one place I have that the kids haven’t taken over so I like it clean and organized.

Wet dogs, they shake to dry off.
Ain't figured out a towel yet.



Little bastard was covered in mud after a goose hunt on a pond. Slipped out of his blind that was in the back seat and took his normal position in the front passenger seat.
Then decided he needed to dry off.

There's yogurt on the headliner. Rocks, sea shells, sand, yea lots of sand. Wife's undies stuffed in the passenger door, dog nose prints on the rear glass, nails, screws, tools, a beer can or two. Dents, dings, stories and 160k miles. It's a great truck.

There's a country song in here, somewhere.....

I wish I could but absolutely fail at it. As a construction site manager trying to keep my truck clean is an absolute waste of time. It looks great when clean, but I don’t have the time to keep after it like I should.

That's a lot more benign than what I originally imagined...

But makes more sense

I plan on keeping the new one clean, but not so much my old 250.
I wash it off maybe 4 times a year, rake all the crap out whenever I have to give someone a ride & renew the interior duct tape every couple of years.

 

[woods89]

I try to keep up. I have an unlimited wash plan at a local car wash. It's a constant battle, as it's on construction sites every day.

I do our sales and estimating, though, and I like to have it clean for client meetings.

I just bought a dedicated hunting/camping rig, though, and I'm sure it won't get quite as much attention.

 

[hobbes]

No. It's nearly always "hunting season".

 

[Cheesy]

I worked for a large farmer in high school and college. We would wash/wax/interior detail every tractor/combine/grain truck 2 times a year, and did the pickup trucks frequently based on need. I grew up on a farm where you did nothing of the sort. I asked him one time why we did so much to clean his tractors that were just going to get dirty. "If you bought a 1/4 million dollar truck, you'd wash it wouldn't you? When I sell or trade in my equipment I get premium money for it". And he definitely did.

I use my trucks for truck purposes, they get covered in mud/dirt/rock chips/branch scratches. But I wash them at the first chance I get. I keep the interiors wiped down and vacuumed out whenever I quit doing whatever it was that caused the filth. My 2 kids know not to leave anything in my cars/trucks. Yet their moms SUV is piled high with all their crap. Yet momma wants to drive 'my' vehicles because they're always cleaned out and in a presentable fashion. I don't go overboard on it, just spend a few minutes here and there on it and don't let clutter accumulate.

I am fairly picky about keeping our vehicles clean and detailed. My wife and I work hard and I like to have nice things so I buy nice things and take care of them.

In my experience, people take much better care of their vehicles if they are kept clean. Same thing for a home.

 

[fngTony]

Goes through the automated car wash every Friday rain or shine unless it’s hunting season. Pets, kids, some adults, and food not allowed. Vacuum as needed- you could generally eat off the floor mats- again, unless it’s hunting season. Gloves off during season. But it gets a deep clean after.

“Some adults not allowed” .

 

[TSAMP]

I am a don't wash outside at all guy and my 2014 f150 cab corners are toast. I suspect it would of happened regardless, but I have to wonder if cleaning regularly might have given her a few more golden years.

 

[BugleMeTimber]

I only pressure wash the outside grill in the summer when the grasshoppers are thick, that's just to keep the smell and yellowjackets down in the driveway/shop. Suspension and wheel wells get hosed out when full of cow crap and gumbo. Otherwise, only washed outside with soap twice in four years. Inside gets deep clean once a year but garbage taken almost daily.

 

[tdhanses]

I wash maybe a few times a year and clean it out about the same.

 

[TxxAgg]

A bunch of yall are nasty! I keep my stuff clean.

 

[Poser]

I go through the car wash if I’ve been off-road and have mud and dust in the suspension and on the undercarriage.

I vacuum, wipe down dust, dump the floor mats about once every 2 weeks, give or take.
