Default 2-3 Days at most

The gumbo clay and red clay here can really 'stain' the Stone White, then its just a b!tch to get clean. If I am not playing in the Jeep, then its gotta be clean. Just ripped out the carpet because I can't seem to get it clean. Looking into the Raptor Liner for the tub.

When I get an earful from the wife because the kids are getting their hands and nice school clothes filthy from jumping in & out of the JKU...then it's time to wash it.

Last time I got it muddy, it stayed that way for about a week.
Still drops "pellets" on the driveway from underneath.

out hear in southern AZ we have to go looking for mud (rocks and dirt mainly) I kinda treat it as a badge of honor. Cars don't rust really so rocking a "Mud job" is pretty strait forward, don't touch the mud, don't set anything on the Jeep, and watch me mark my territory for the next month.... :-)

I like my rig when it is REALLY clean and when it is REALLY dirty. The last time I got it muddy, I left it for several days. Never again. Whatever the composition of that mud was, it was mildly acidic enough to etch my paint in several places. After that I decided to clean the stuff off ASAP.

Wash my Jeep? Isn't that why it rains?

I do wash it at the end of winter to get the salt off and once or twice in the summer.

I once drove through a water puddle in the mall parking lot... it sucked bad. I had to stop immediately and re-armor all my tires before I went shopping...

Usually mines a Mall Crawler during the week, and an off road Warrior during the weekend. So... I wash during the week and keep her dirty during the weekend.
