What day is best to wash truck?

coyote bill · 04-02-2002, 05:34 PM

I'm thinking about washing my PU this week, second time this year.
The problem I'm having is this time of year it always rains within 24 hours afterwards.
So should I wash it Saturday morning so it looks good Saturday night but rains on Sunday, or should I just wait until Sunday afternoon?

Saturday morning.

I second that. If you have to drive your truck to work everyday then saturday morning is the best time.

I automatic wash once a week...hand wash once a month my truck gets washed once in a while

1-2 times a week...usually on thursday and saturday...depending on when it rains and how bad it looks. I usually wash either early in the morning or around 4-5 at night to allow myself to be able to dry in the coolness of the evening and makes waxing a bit easier as well.

I usually hand wash mine on fridays or saturdays then maybe do the auto wash mid week like wednesday if it has rained between the weekend and then I got one of those California car duster things cause the pollen is horrible down here in TN right nwo and my truck is black so she attracts it like crazy i try to use it every day

i try to wash mine on sat but my dad takes it on sunday to ride his bike so it just get's dirty. but if i don't wash it something will come up and he won't take it so i wash it almost every sat.

Most places in Los Angeles have "rain checks." If it rains within 24 hours after you wash it, you get a free wash. I guess that's one good thing about living in Cali.

Anytime I can get that little highschool cheerleader down the street to do it.
