Question Cleaning your jeep?

just wondering how yall clean your jeeps after wheeling.

I normally do a 2 step process, powerwash all the mud and crap off in the street so it goes in front of my neighbors house and is no longer my problem , then i pull it into the yard and clean it with soap and hose it off. then im good to go. normally takes 2-4 hours...

I've only had my Jeep for about a month and a half but I just go to the do it yourself carwash With my old Nissan truck I only washed it after serious amounts of mud which out here in southern AZ that was like maybe once a year after my annual Christmas week camping trip when there was lots of snow/mud mixture, otherwise I just let the rain wash it . I think the last time I washed the Nissan was in 2009. The Jeep has a good paint job and no body damage though so it'll get washed more frequently

I do both, i either rinse it off first in the street then use soap and water in my driveway. sometimes, if its really bad and i have real thick mud everywhere and then i go to the public wash and use their power washer, works like a charm

I had no idea I rained here in southern AZ. South AZ rain aka humidity always somehow makes my Jeep dirtier.
