Is anyone else here really into detailing/cleaning their truck?

[DC1990]

I know many people feel trucks are meant to get used and dirty, which I totally get. However I've always been fanatical about keeping my vehicles clean and I thoroughly enjoy it too. For me I just love getting up early on Saturday morning and washing the car by hand and adding some polish/wax to it. Is anyone else here that weird?

I used to do that but my priorities are different now. The truck is here to serve me.

Going to pick up a load of manure later. My latest modification is an aluminum filler to keep crap from getting packed between the tailgate/ bed gap.

I'm addicted to keeping my vehicles clean and have many many products for the deed.

I'm really into the $20/month unlimited car wash. I wash the truck almost every time I drive by.

I don’t think it’s weird, I love to feel beautiful supple paint, even if it’s a truck and it’s gets used. I love clay and for the last few years, ceramic/graphene waxing.

Here is a pic after washing and waxing.

I did spend a lot of elbow grease and sweat to strip and then re-coat all my glass with a really high quality ceramic coating. Because I live where it rains a lot and the coating helps shed rain really well. Beyond that I take it to a touch free wash every month or so. In the summer I try to foam cannon at home, but that involves getting out the pressure washer, which I am often too lazy to do.

I like rain x and how it beads off the window. My wife said, that stuff never works. So I did half the windshield on the car and we were driving in the rain. I said see how great this stuff works?

She says, “why didn’t you do my side”?

Mine stays pretty dirty but if you are ever vacationing on Maui feel free to stop by Twin Falls and my wife will bring the truck up for a polish. I will even chop you a coconut for the effort.

That's why I have a White truck

Hi DC1990 - did you caulk the seams where the bed meets the wheel wells? Or do you just live with whatever lodges in the crevice?

I wash my truck once a year, whether it needs it or not. Sometimes this inspires me to take the next step. So far, I kinda like the simplicity and performance of Turtle Wax 53409 Ceramic Spray Coating.

I used to be that way, but I'm older now. I still hand wash it only, but not as often. Stuff hurts when you get older.

A complete detail job on my vehicle is relaxing therapy for me. That said I only do it once a year,every spring. And yes I use dishsoap and paste wax lol. My 15 year old ram,a Michigan truck since it was bought new,still looks great!
