Default How long without a wash?

Haven't washed my JK since I drove off the lot on January 12, 2008. I like her dirty.

How long has it been for you?

I think I went from last May when I picked her up to late October. I've done quick washing of mud a few times since then. But, I haven't completely washed her at all.

My Jeep gets washed when that wet stuff comes down out of the sky... I think we call it rain?

I've only been to a car wash twice so far, and I've had my JK since Feb.'07...

I bought our 07 Unlimited in May of 2007 - washed it June of 07 and never since.

My 08 Sahara, I have had for less than a month, and no wash yet.

But....I have an excuse....we are under an outdoow watering ban due to the drought. It has been effective since last summer and was recently lifted just a little to hand watering plants for no more than 20 mintues between midnight and 10am on an even/odd schedule.

And I dont like to let those car wash places tough my Jeeps...

Hoping for lots of rain soon!

Been a few weeks, but today I just couldn't take all that road salt and grime all over it, that and my windows had a glaze on them that was making them cloudy. I washed it just in time for the 4-6" of snow we have coming tonight. It made me feel good to actually see the sparkle in the paint again, however brief that may be. Clean vehicles last longer (at least in the rust belt).
