I don't clean mine. I just let all the violent thunder storms do it for me.

Man, I know exactly what you mean, a couple days after I washed mine there was green pollen / sap all over my truck. I had to wash my windshield 3-4 times last week cause it was driving me nut, I like the rain around this time.

Since I had to start from square one, I used Dawn Dishwashing soap and a wool wash mit. Was super easy (and it was somewhat muddy beforehand).

In the future I'll use Griots Car Wash, and Dawn anually to strip the old wax and polish. Then clay, polish, and wax!

Well I got the porter cable and the Maguiers Step #2 polish .. and that takes out most of them. But there are some that are really deep so I'm just touching them up with regular touch up paint. Then the parts where the paint is completey scarped up, I'll spray a little primer, and then touch up paint.

This is my rig before I did anything to her. She'll be clean tomorrow and I'll post pics with the new lift.

What you see on the windows are the clouds not dirt or anything like that. Enjoy!

My Whitey's, clean at the time. The Runner was before the custom spacer trick in the front. Thats why it's nosedown! Fixed now though.

The only pic I have of my rig freshly cleaned was before I got my lift and tires so theres no point in postin that...hopefully when the weather goes back up to its normal 80-83 on the weekends I'll get around to posting.

And I would DEFINATELY buy a black rig again...I'm not sure I'll ever own a car thats not black, although sports cars look REALLY awesome in yellow...NAH
