Its Spring, where are the pics of clean rigs?

I figured its warming up, people gotta be out there cleaning their rigs. It was around 74-76 here yesterday (only a guess) so I took advantage of it. Post some pics and show off that clean rig. I still need to do the interior and minor stuff like the windows other than that.

It's tough keeping a clean rig in the spring. That's when the trails are nice and wet, yeehaa!

I think its harder keeping my rig clean in spring than winter, because its always raining and leaving those streak spots. Seems like right after i wash it it rains again.

Washed and waxed mine today, what a rare occurance b/c I have only washed it 4 times in 2 years. I also did the vacuum and armor all deal and for the finish I added some Lexol to the leather seats. Sorry no pics, I got lazy after all that.

sorry for hijacking.. but did you notice a drop in MPG when going to your 32x11.5s (i assume from 31s)? I've got 31x10.5s and was looking to upgrade to 31x11.5s, just curious about the gas milage difference. thanks

After bad experiences with an inferior polisher, I finally broke down and purchased a Porter Cable, and $237 worth of Griots stuff!

Pics speak for themselves!!

It is spring indeed. Cleaning my junk would be pointless with all the pollen in the air in northern Virginia. My nice new rattle can black was covered in green by the end of the week:

Nice lookin' rigs everyone! I'm with some others on here, I can't keep mine clean. Between teh bugs and the 6+ inches of rain I've had here this week, mine looks the worst it's ever been since I've had it. All the creeks/rivers are overflowing so it's covered in dirty water from head to tow. Maybe in a couple weeks if it dries out.

so uh, what kinda soap do you guys use? im using some mcguires stuff right now with a long brush thing. it just seems to push the dirt around and only get about half of it off. im gettin pissed, even though it looks a lot better after i wash it, it is still pretty damn dirty! i guess having a white 4Runner doesn't help
