I tend to keep it clean. I intend to have this one a long time and want it to last. My former TJ has over 120K miles on it and has been all over the country and still looks really good because I took care of it. And living in the snow-belt (rust belt) region of Ohio it is a must in the winter to wash as much as possible.

Nice headlights
...I'm a girl ... So I mean the Jeep headlights
Yeah sure Liz we really know what headlights you are talking about. You follow the Hot JK girls threads all the time. You need to put some more pics of you in there

i was driving around with my sister and my girlfriend and they were like... we remember when you would take your car to get washed and detailed twice a week and when you carried a spray bottle full of water and some wash clothes just in case of an emergency. ie bird poop, water puddle, or rain spots.

now im asking how long i can keep it dirty. im a changed man.

I get a hard time a lot because every-time we go out wheelin' the first thing I do after is hit the car wash. It's kind of funny, once in awhile we go to the Hooters because there's a car wash next door and I can have a couple cold ones while the Jeep is getting cleaned.

Old photo but this was about ten minutes after getting off the trail.

on the washing shot... she's hot.

i'm not a clean freak, but when the side windows get gunked up, i'll make time to wash it.
I HATE how easy the windows scratch.

but i'm one who will drive to work after a fun weekend of wheeling, and have it be known that i USE my jeep.
and shock them when its gleaming "show quality" again the next week.


(but its wears light road crap on it most of the time..)

I voted never.... but I do take a hose to it here and there for a quick spray down if it's really caked with mud or something. Doojette also takes some soap to it every so often when I'm not looking. The inside pretty much gets left alone. I have dust and dirt in there from every run I've ever been on!
