I like the inside clean, but don't care so much about the outside. I can't remember the last time I washed it.

Where I live, the dirt blows constantly, hard to keep anything clean. I wash my truck at least once a week at the local car wash. I hate a dirty vehicle, inside or outside. I live on a dirt/gravel road, so it only stays clean for a short period of time. When it rains, I could get the 'mud' award after a mile or so. Mud here is called 'calechi' - kind of like cement when it dries. I bought a pressure washer a week ago, now I can keep it clean. I think it will be much easier to do at home, especially to wax it after a good bath.

I take the other road. I park my truck under a pine tree and between the pollen, sap and dew, my truck has been known to grow mold or lichens or something. And with a 4 1/2 yr old, keeping the interior clean is like shovelling snow against an avalanche. Last weekend, he was munching on "potato chips or something"; I asked him where he got them and he said they were from behind the seat. I looked into the back and he said "no... here!" as he pulled another few petrified french fries from behind his carseat. munch munch munch.

I've also scored the occassional M&M or Skittle.

I tried as hard as I could, I took a sample of mud from my gun club property to the dealer, and tried to match it up to their offered colors. No luck, I was hoping to find a near match so not washin it wouldn't look so bad.

Mine gets washed every 3-4 months. The interior gets a cleaning every six months or so.

My wife complains because she gets dirty when she brushes up against it. She complains even more when I tell her to quit brushing against it then.

Other than that,it doesn't make much difference to me. Its a truck.
