I don't envy the amount of truck you have to wash and wax. Mine got 4 coats of wax in September so I think I'll just continue washing it until I get a chance to clay bar and wax it again next spring.

Remember! Winter is the most important time to wash them regardless of how much it sucks. Washing them more often in winter equates to less rust later!

Last winter we had several 50* days and I used those as an excuse to wash the truck. I also dragged the sprinkler under the truck to wash off all the crap they drop on the roads.

Not yet, Ken. I haven't had time or ambition to clean lately. I'll probably get working on that tomorrow night. Just gotta return all the cans, sweep up, and bring the grill home.
