you paid someone to detail your car. what'd that cost, $100? you can do that yourself with $8 worth of product and 3 hours of your time. is your time worth $30/hr?

Yea that's actually a great loophole to protect the employees at times I suggest getting a small car mount camera

I paid to have my Jeep detailed about a year after I got it, partly because I had no time during the week and my weekends were booked (beginning of spring).

That being said, I only had him do the outside... I do my own interior cleaning. And my mom used to use the dude to have her cars detailed once a year and he did a hell of a good job.

Because of this, he took my momโ€™s Wrangler (the last time she ever had it detailed.. itโ€™s a muddy mess inside now ๐Ÿคฃ) and my ZJ at a little bit of a discount sort of like a package deal. I paid $50.

To top all of this off though, once it had this detail I kept that maintained. It just really needed a good going-over on the outside.

Well worth it.

I don't wash my truck. Fuck it. It was made to be dirty.ย 

Off the showroom floor, and directly into the woods. Scratches and mud all over it, day one.ย 

It might get vacuumed out once a year.ย

eh, i guess. a fresh, thorough detail is awesome, don't get me wrong. i did detailingย for a couple years to pay bills while i was doing the live music thing, and if you don't mind a little bit of manual labor, it's really not hard to do it yourself and get those results. cars & trucks are pretty easy, even when people have messy kids or track mud and grime in daily. boats are harder. combines are a lot harder.

also, i'm with mid on not cleaning trucks. they're not showpieces. they're workhorses and need to be treated as such.

I keep everything I drive clean... even trucks that had a rusty roof and a mismatched hood. Mostly because I am the kind of person that likes simple luxury and part of that experience is a clean interior. Plus if I keep it clean at least once a week I wonโ€™t have to spend 4 hours and a whole bottle of Simple Green scrubbing at caked on grime if I ever need to clean it. Itโ€™s easier to sell a clean vehicle.

fair enough. i don't buy a truck with the intention of reselling it though. the last one i bought in 2015ย was an '03 silverado 1500hd with all kinds of little problems. made some necessary repairs and put it into use. i got it for $4500 and i'm still using it to pull trailers and pack shit around. i'll drive it til it costs more to fix it than it's worth, and at that point i'll part it out and get something else.ย 

it's never been washed and it will never be washed, for as long as i own it. looks tough, adds character.

Those are the worst to not wash... the frame breaks in half from rust

while that may be true in a few cases, this one isn't bad.ย i'm also not making payments every monthย and insurance is cheap af. when it dies, i'll have already got my money's worth out of it a couple times over. plus, i don't have to worry about beating it up or getting it messy. i get rid of trash and vacuum it out a couple times a year, and i might hit it with the garden hose if it gets too dirty, but that's all the tlc this thing needs.
