Default cleaning routine

I was wondering if any of you have a normal routine when it comes to keeping your trucks clean? If so what are they.

Yes, but my routine depends on how dirty she is.

If she just needs a touch-up:

- 2 Bucket Wash w/ Microfiber Mit & Meguiars Gold Class Wash
- Dry with Meguiars waffle weave microfiber towel
- Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax the Entire Truck Including Wheels & Running Board
- Meguiars Ultimate Interior Detailer on the Inside of the Truck
- Meguiars #40 on the Dash
- Meguiars Gold Class Cleaner/Conditioner on Seats

4 Times a Year I do This:

- 2 Bucket Wash w/ Microfiber Mit & Meguiars Gold Class Wash
- Dry with Meguiars waffle weave microfiber towel
- Clay Bar the Entire Truck
- Meguiars #20 Sealant
- Meguiars #26 Yellow Tech Wax
- Meguiars Ultimate Interior Detailer on the Inside of the Truck
- Meguiars #40 on the Dash
- Meguiars Gold Class Cleaner/Conditioner on Seats

It'll get washed +/-3 times per month. I try to keep the dirt off, when the big snow has melted I get it washed well. But I have to remember that it's gonna get dirty because it's my daily driver. I try to keep the interior very clean though.

I will wash the underside well because CDOT (colo dept transportation) will spray mag-chloride on the highways which can errode the underside of the truck. So, I'll head to the coin-op and spray it down.

Apart from regular washing and full detailing buff/wax twice a year I also condition the leather with the Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil & Prestine Clean system. It's labour intensive but well worth it!
