Whenever I have time. i usually go on a date with my girlfriend every saturday, so I try to clean it friday night, or saturday morning, even though it looks the same or worse after the date because of those dang bugs. And it doesnt help she lives in the country either

i usually have to wash it 2 or 3 times a week because i live on a farm and it goes through some slippery clay and crap just about every day and i do a full detail about once a month

What is your definition of a full detail?

Detailed about every 3 months. Waxed monthly. I love waxing. Its therapy. I have no idea why I felt it necessary to get #16...
What he said minus the # 16 because I don't have any.

and what he said below me.

I stick to twice a week wash and a good whipe down. I break out the big stuff about every three months. Since this is my first new-new truck, I have washed it three times in the four days i have had it....

In the summer once a week....a good detailing every two weeks or so. In the Winter the insde get cleaned alot but I only wash it once a month or so. Hunting really keep the exterior pretty dirty.

I was washing mine every weekend when i was working construction because once i drove on the job site it would either get really dusty or muddy if it had rained.
but now i'm not working construction(got fired last thursday woohoo!!) so i probably won't wash it as often
