Washed the Jeep and am not Happy. . . . .
Is it just me, or does washing the Jeep just beg you to go out and get it dirty?
I just got my 4 door Rubi 4 weeks ago, and HAD to have RedRock Red becuase I loved the color so much. But now, I dont think it looks right being clean? Especially with the mixture of Red Colorado Dirt and mud I have had on it consistently (matches so good with the redrock).
WTF? Anyone else suffer this problem?

I've gone wheelin' or really got it dirty IMMEDIATELY after I washed it several times. Just comes up that way. I like mine to either be pretty clean, or trail dirty. I don't like it to be grungy otherwise. If the water didn't evaporate as soon as it came out of the hose, I'd wash it. It's 113* during the day and 90* at night, I don't stand a chance lol
My ride to work this morning was a bit chilly at 58 degrees with no doors and top down! Clean though, well mostly.

Been in the 90's here in Colorado during the day and I thought I was cooking a bit. Hopefully the
is always cold.Anyways, I badly want to go romp on some trails now. . . . . . .

I think I know the feeling.. 
I find it amazing how to my eyes, a spotless clean jeep looks good, but a dirty trail look also looks good
But one or the other, not both...
I truly was reminded of this the last time I rotated my tires.
I had a trail run with my clean Jeep and it actually looked great (lots of mud). The next day I rotated the tires using the spare (5 tire rotation) it just didn't go. I had a cool looking trail dirtied Jeep with one spotless clean tire/wheel, it looked weird.
