During the winter, I take it to a carwash, and, depending on how much salt has been on the roads, or what the weather looks like in the upcoming week, I will spend between $5-$10 to get it washed. When its warmer out, I usually wash it by hand, and either dry it off, or do quick detail w/a micro fiber towel. Then I clean the windows, interior, and put some tire shine on. Occasionally I'll hit the step bars or tool box with some chrome polish as well to keep them looking nice.

$15.09 per week where I go.

Wheel wash and high pressure under body wash is included with that.

Even keeps my bed steps working well all winter.

Default A clean truck?

I live in hard winter country (canada) I put 3 or four coats of wax on the truck in the summer and after freeze up it doesn't get washed till spring, works for me. As far as the inside goes, I open all the windows and drive real fast lol.

I also have black truck. I wash it myself always.
Mine sits outsides most of its life, only inside when i wax it.

Every 6 months I wax it with the klasse twins (1 coat cleaner/ 2 coats sealant) and top it with P21S wax. That will bead water for 6 months. But I still wax it once or twice in between. I got the master blaster dryer to dry it off.

I will be trying a new wax as the P21S attracts dust too much.
