Mine gets washed when it gets rained on. I've never waxed it. It's not a show truck. It's meant to drive.

We have a gravel driveway so it's pointless to try to keep it clean anyway.

I washed mine in the rain and snow the other day. It's essayer to keep up on cleaning then to let it go. I like the look's of a clean truck with mud on it. I love my presser washer $150 at lows last year work's great for quick rinses. I do at least one clay and silent a year.

on another note found a bad chip in the paint on pass rear will have to get that fixed.

I keep the interior pretty spotless, outside I let go 30 days between cleanings, and 4 to 6 months between wax jobs, although it spends most of its time garaged.

Right after off-roading and mudding which I try to avoid to be honest I take to the high pressure wash.... Whether is raining or not..I use rinse mode to knock the big shit off before hand washing.. All that's caked up mud and dirt can't be good for the cv joint and boots etc etc.

I had Jeeps for years before buying my Raptor and always heard that BS. I've equated it to a certain part of my body. I'll get it good and dirty having fun, but it's going to get cleaned afterwards.
