How Often Do You Wash Your Truck

I'm gonna try out the leaf blower drier trick. Seems like a good idea. I find the biggest PITA is drying off my truck when I wash it at home.

It has so far. They're gonna do a back burn from a dozer line tonight. Hopefully that'll protect the town. Haha it's the Hayman fire all over but closer =/

I usually wash it before I pick up my gal and take her somewhere. She likes driving around in a clean rig!
Other than that, I hose it off about once a week.

Hand wash every week, wax once a month, and spray detailer wax every week. Leather conditioned every 2 weeks along with vacuuming. Guess I should have started with "I love my truck".

Take to the automatic car wash every Thursday. Takes too damn long to do it myself! Wax every 6 months. Clay bar when I have the time.

Depending on how often I wax it, I wash it once a week. Weather plays a huge role in it too.

I can't remember the last time my truck had a bath.
Was gonna wash it tomorrow, but its going to rain later on and my honey do list is growing by the minute.
