    I'm
    Thinking Dual wands vs one long one. Less likely to get caught in antennas and such.

    Do you have your truck washed and if so how much do you pay? Self service, Auto, or pay someone else?

    It’s not about saving money, it’s about actually cleaning the truck and not having some minimum wage high school drop out swirl my paint or destroy my polished aluminum and leaving oil/grease over everything

    A quick tractor wash will take 20 minutes, a tractor + trailer wash will take 40 to 50 minutes average.

    I have a self serve wash right close to where I park.
    Every time I have gone there to wash its broken or has 2 feet of mud the last dump truck left behind.
    So II do it myself Truck and 2 trailers around 4 hours. I have bought everything that I need t o do the job.
    A clean truck is a good excuse to stay home until the roads dry up.
     
    bishopC and Capacity Thank this.
