    I've always kept a clean truck, but when it's yours it's just that much more rewarding. Unfortunately I'm stuck in a very snowy, salty world right now and she's not looking to good at the moment...can't wait foe spring when the weather gets nice and I can keep her clean and shiny all the time.
     
    Oxbow, Highway Sailor and bzinger Thank this.

    I wouldn't waste the time or money polishing wheels now .
    Mine are already etched and dulling ...last few washes I've been having em flash brightened and that's about as good as it gets this time of year .

    One of the best fuel system cleaners is Biodiesel.
    Should you have the opportunity to find a reputable location to purchase B100, fill the tanks.

    Biofuels have a bad reputation they do not deserve.
    One of the big things people point to is filter clogging.
    Well, yes it will clog up a filter, because it is cleaning the complete fuel system. All that old gunk is getting washed out. So make sure you have a set or two of filters.

    Here is another interesting thing about Biodiesel, it has a higher lubricity than petrodiesel.
