I go to the DIY car wash every couple weeks. It gets the pressure washer in soap, rinse, and spotless rinse. Sometimes I'll use the soapy brush.

Really the wash process for all my vehicle exteriors is about the same- This is general-

I prefer to avoid pressure washers because a chip can turn into something worse, but they have their place and work-

I spray the tires with a good tire cleaner

I blast the exterior to get all the loose dirt off

I use a real car wash soap and wash from the top down , never let it dry

I like the soft brushes with a handle because it’s fast and you can reach everything-

I’ll drop a microfiber towel in the bucket and then use that to get any places like behind the spare and raise the hood to get where the hood and fenders meet, then do the wheels with it last

Then i drive it to air dry it, taking several clean cloths to buff it after a few miles - a spray detailer gets anything I miss and any water spots

I ‘ll use the same damp cloth to wipe down the dash and mats

I used to do similar once a month. Stupid black color shows every speck. And then the only nearby DIY place closed after covid 😕

Been thinking to buy a pressure washer. But given the rain this year (see above) I may not have to :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

We get a decent amount of mud rain out here, thanks to Arizona.

Just curious, how do people wash their Jeeps. Car wash, hose, it's own personal power washer... Do you have a wash schedule, to you let it sit till you can not stand looking at the dust, dirt, and mud anymore - do you wash after every trail use...

I guess this is more of a phycology question than anything else. I have had a habbit of not washing often and eventually watching virtually every paint job oxidise into oblivian. Part of me would prefer NOT doing that to my LJ. My wife apparently wants to stop that cycle on her vehicles - but detailers add up. I think she is having them detailed about 4 times a year right now. That could easily pay for a nice pressure washer fairly quickly.

so far my only investment in this is fixing my water hose and getting a new hose reel.

I like the creek idea, park in it until the water clears up down stream, voilà, done 😊

After all it’s a Jeep,
I even had one of our local law enforcement officers commenting :

“ every JEEP needs to look like yours “
🙈🤣😉

DETOUR
