I am admittedly very particular with my vehicles. I like to keep them clean and will spend at least a couple of hours cleaning up my truck inside and out. Little more difficult during the winter in these parts but I still like to spray the salt off and definitely keep the inside immaculate. I just enjoy driving it more when its clean.

Anyone else like this? Or are you in the "doesn't matter to me" section?

It's never really mattered to me.
This vehicle though, my wife signed me up on the 'wash as many times as you want' plan at the automatic car wash for $15 a month.
So, It looks good most of the time now.
The inside doesn't get messy.

Never wash the outside. I keep the inside free from trash and vacuum it once a year.

same for the ol lady's car -
but for my truck,
it's an occasional vacuum -
haven't washed since March of '23,
and that was only due to a few months of field work-

Have never owned a Chevy pickup.

This one is a Dodge.

I prolly pissed on my Chevy Beretta back in the day. Passenger side quarter panel was red duct tape by the time I was done driving it.

Someone Preserved A Chevy Beretta With Just 45 Miles And It's A Rad Time Capsule - The Autopian

The Chevy Beretta was forgettable. Yet, someone decided to save a 1 of 1500 Beretta Indy and I got to see this perfect 45-mile time machine.

Meh. Run it through a wash once a month maybe. Vacuum this inside out every 3rd month or so. I keep it decent, but don't obsess about it. Once a year I do a heavy detail.

The wife gets hers detailed once a month.

My kid keeps his truck buffed and polished, detailed constantly. My daughter is a @broncosmitty and has never washed her truck.

I have thought if I lived in your neck of the woods how nice it would be to wash my truck and it would actually stay clean for a while. I swear I can cure any drought simply by washing mine.

I just drive through the Hispanic neighborhood with a pack of cigarettes and my ride is like new.

Monsoon season this year has caused afternoon sprinkles almost every, to every other, day. It comes with gusts of wind carrying dust, and it's been just enough to make it impossible to keep anything clean.
