It's a badge of Honor to have two inches of mud on mine once or twice a month.

I have had mine for a little over two months and I have only power washed the mud out from underneath it once and it's never been washed. I'm thinking about letting it have its first encounter with soap and bubbles today!

This has been a nice break from the GT500 that I religiously washed and waxed every Friday. I need this break from those anal tendencies.

Tisk, tisk. You didn't wax it, did you?
Naaaa, I thought not.
You just haven't had any fun at all until you've tried to apply freezing wax.
It's a real test of character!

Find a decent hand wash place and have it done once a month in the winter for 3 months just to keep the salt off. Do it yourself the rest of the time, total cost around 75 dollars.

If I'm washing my truck at my house I always just fill up my 2 buckets with warm/hot water from inside, and I am totally fine! Give it a try, warm water + jacket = washing all winter.

Now if I go to someone else's house to wash their car, I just wear rubber gloves and mitts underneath to keep my hand warmish/dry.
