So how do you guys deal with keeping your rigs clean? Do you use the do it yourself car washes or use those truck and RV wash places? If you do, how much does it cost?<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div>
 
&nbsp; We use the do it yourself car washes. Used a truck wash once. It was hand washed and I think it was $1.00 a foot. We also had it washed once by a school group. We gave them twice the car rate but they couldn't wash the high sections very well.<br>
 
I wash mine myself at truck stops, and I plan to get a CB radio.&nbsp; Great way to get a free meal, a cheap or free shower ticket, and some good conversation.&nbsp; Of course, wearing a bikini top and shorts while doing this helps.&nbsp; Yes it's baiting them, and kind of requires being female, but it's not like you are promising anything.&nbsp; They come up and try their luck by being nice.&nbsp; If anything happens, well, that's the choice of the adults involved.<br>
 
Drifter,if you wanna go to truckstops and bait guys into helpin' you by wearing &nbsp;skimpy clothing that's up to you. But please be careful,there are some real nut cases out there in them thar truckstops. And you know I know what I'm tawkin' 'bout.<div>10/4?</div><div><br></div><div>Besides that,the lot lizards might think you are moving in on their territory and who knows what those skanky byotches might do!</div>
 
Forgive me Drifter. When I first read your reply I assumed you was a man. You'll appreciate just how confused I had gotten, for just a second, when I read "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; ">wearing a bikini top and shorts</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; ">" part in relation to starting off the post with "truck stop". Sometimes I really forget myself and get results like this.</span>
 
<P><FONT size=3>Generally do-it-yourself, but it's impossible for us to get the top clean, and when dirt builds up rain washes it down the sides. Occasionally I take it to a truck wash so they can get the top.</FONT></P>
 
I bought one of those extending scrub brushes that attaches to a garden hose to get to the roof of mine. It hasn't rained much this year but every time it has I've gotten some pretty bad streaks down the side.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Does anyone wax theirs? Or is that a waste of time?</div>
