I wash my windshield once every month or so, but the whole Jeep? Couldn't say how long it would take!

Maybe I should take my jeep down there Tommy, think it would still be 20 and 15min?





some sand on the frame rail, the sand was an inch+ deep everywhere underneath


I seriously want to know if anyone gets theirs as dirty as mine and never washes it? I do like to leave it completely dirty for the week after I wheel but then I get sick of getting filthy just getting in and out of it every time I go out I usually just power wash all the heavy stuff off and leave it at that. I've probably washed it back to shiney 3 or 4times.

Just power washing all the mud and sand off it yesterday took me 2hrs and I still have sand in some area's underneath I noticed today.

It really depends on how long the rain lasts.

yeah I've heard of that one, but it was hard getting it clean under there with a power washer, no way that would have gotten it clean, alot of mud off yes, but not even close to clean, and then the sand pic, I power washed it and still there is sand in places under it.
