Default What do you guys use?

For drying your wet rigs? Actually what is your process for cleaning the rigs? Heres mine:

Interior, Vacuum, Cleaning wipe.
Rinse full body, wheels, Underbody and under the hood with light pressure.
Wash full body, wheels, Underbody and under the hood with light puressure.
Foam brush, Wheels, Hood, and Rockers.
Rinse away all soap.
Dry vehicle
Spray tires, clean wheels.

What are you guys using for The cleaning wipes, Soap, and how are you drying it? What kind of tire shine and wheel cleaner?

Im thinking about having Bear car wash in littleton hand wax my rig for 19.95

You are asking us how we wash our 12+ year old trucks, we are lucky if there is still paint on them to wash.

I use dish soap and an old rag, as for the interior I kick the old bottles and McDonald's bags out with my foot as I climb in at walmart.

I was just thinking about giving it a bath the other day but then said "whats the f'ing point?" the thing shouldn't really ever be clean if I'm using it right. Last year I washed it so infrequently I had leave patterns dried onto the hood. It looked like real tree camo. It was bad ***. Wish I could make the whole truck look like that.

Dang Dude............I'm not judging you brother but...........you strike me as the kind of guy that see's a dirt road on the map and looks for an alternate paved route because you know after getting the truck in the dirt you have like 3 hours of cleaning and 30$ in cleaning supply to go through. Its a Rover, not a Viper.

Thats usually how I clean my truck. Other then once a year I shampoo the carpets, wet sand (3000 grit)and buff out the whole exterior, and wax it about once every other month. As far as my wheels they just get a light sanding and some black rattle can when ever they need it. The more you wax them the easier it is to clean them the dirt and mud usually hoses off without mutch work.
