Truck Wash

I like washing my own truck but not enough places allow it.

 

There’s a few self washes around. The problem is you about need to carry your own bucket and brushes to keep from destroying your paint and polished aluminum. The big problem is that many of them aren’t well maintained. The brushes are junk and filled with grit. Half the time the soap doesn’t work. Most of the time there is grease all over the concrete because the DIT wash is where guys go to degrease their truck.

 

Oh hell no. My trainer guru told me a truck driver won't stand if he can sit, won't sit if he can lay down, and will sleep when he can. I won't pay money to do the work. That's seriously close to being retarded.

 

I would take the option for both. There are no full service washes in my area, so I have to use a self-service wash.

 

i am imagineing this but worse.

 

I’ve used them to remove heavy salt and sand in winter, but I’d rather shell out the $90 or so to have it done at a manned truck wash.

I have my own heated unit on a trailer, but it takes me a long time to wash it properly by myself, clean everything up and put away.

I’ve considered using it as a mobile wash unit, but I’d need to clone myself to be happy with running it as a legit business.

 

speak for yourself, it’s about 3 hours a week to do mine before I drag any polishing stuff out

Oh I load/unload my own freight too

 

Count yourself lucky. When i do mine at home polish included. its usually a good 6 or 7 hour job if i get every drop of mud dirt grime and oil. Also add a good hour or 2 for the interior. Crap like this does one hell of a number on trying to get it clean lol.

If i want to be REAL pedantic and get all the crap up under the ferrings add a good 2 or 3 hours to pull those and really get the underside good and clean.

Always sad too becauae the shine rarely lasts past the first load lol.
