Same here and yes I am. If I spend the time washing it I don't wanna have to fix what I already wash.

Plus it leaves a weird film if I just leave it out to dry it doesn't look good at all.

I just came up with a plan to stop washing my truck. Never fails, everytime I wash it I have to go down a dusty/muddy road or drive through a dust storm.

I spray air from a compressor in cracks/ etc, solves the problem for spots from water after washing it. Just a tip for ya!!!

Ditto. Haven't washed mine in weeks. I take a rag to it after a light rain sometimes, and I'll probably keep polishing and waxing it every... oh... 6 months?

Mine gets washed once every 6 or 7 months. Basically when mud is caked on the windshield so thickly I can't remove it with the windshield wipers.

The air doesnt really work that well, unless you do it yourself and spend some time at it. The car wash I frequent uses air but they do a half *** rush job and it doesnt work well. If I was to do it myself and spend some time at it I think it would be much more effective. If one was to do it in your own yard and not drive right away I think you would have much better results, but getting rushed through a car wash and hitting 35-40 mph right after has a big negative effect.
