It took me exactly 6 minutes, the same time it always does. $4.00 twice a week, rain or shine. 4:00 soap and water, some brushing. The 2:00 of rinsing, some wiping.

I just washed mine today...took 3 hours. The longest part is putting this armorall protectorant stuff on the plastic that is suppose to keep it from fading. Not sure how well it works cause it seems to wash off after a week, anyone else use it?

usually between 6 monts and 9 months. I'm really slow.

It only takes about 3 years if I want to wax it.

Really I wash it as often as I can in the winter and maybe once a month in the summer. Muddy is cool and all but I prefer not to have rust for a while, and if the bumper, lift, lights and rock sliders make me a "poser" because it's clean, so be it.
...
almost forgot about three hours, four if it's clay based mud.

for me it depends.Where I work is located on a secondary road that is mainly dirt,so I could spend all day washing and waxing my X,and then after one day of sitting at work,you would never know I washed it.I usually go to a carwash and wash it once a week just to get all of the grime off.

Just a wash takes about 10 minutes, but if I do a full detail it takes an entire day!

don't wash unless I'm going to wax it, then its a full afternoon. Springtime I usually take all the crappy winter dirt and grime off at the car wash.

What is this washing and waxing thing? I spend $2 at the hose it off yourself place to knock the mud off and clearing out the radiator.

Takes me about 20 seconds to hand my keys to the detail guy in the parking structure at work, and about another 20 seconds to pick it up after work and it's all clean ! ! ! Pretty much effortless [LOL]

It takes me about 3 hours to clean everything inside and out. It's a big car. But then again, its really not worth so much effort, I park outside so its a huge waste. It gets dirty just by sitting there for 12 hours on a clear night.

With the windshield so upright, it catches every bug that is unfortunate enough to be infront of it.

If you want to do a quick clean to make your X look cleaner, all you have to do is clean the freaking brake dust that accumulates so fast on the front alloys. jeez its so annoying to clean that.

I cleaned mine out yesterday. Only because I had been to my buddy's ranch. It's a real 4x4 and looks like it. I rotated my tires and cleaned all the dirt out of the inside of the rims and wheel wells. That ought to give another mpg. I'll wash it and clean it again after the next trip to the ranch.

Wax? Isn't that what you get out of your ears? Then you wipe it on your truck? :rolleyes:
