Once a week here. However, I like to clean my wheels and wheelwells 3-times a week. You'd be amazed how clean the rest of the truck looks when you just do the wheels/wheelwells.

No doubt about it, the Titan is a monster to wash. It takes me about 4hrs to do a really good wash job. I'm seriously thinking about buying a pressure washer and getting a large tank of purified water and running it through the system. That way, all I'd have to do is spray it down and just let it dry.

It kind of makes me wonder how all those guys running around with those giant lift kits wash their trucks. You couldn't even check the oil without having a ladder on some of them.

It depends on how much it rains. It can be as much as 3 times a week top to bottom hand wash. If no rain then I dust it off with the California car duster every evening .

Galaxy black of course

Try the Mr Clean AutoDry Car Wash system. You can do a good wash job on your Titan in about 40 minutes. This system uses a PUR water filter and special chemicals to keep you from having to dry your Titan off. Because you don't use a wash bucket, there is a lot less bending over and you don't risk putting the grit in your wash buck back onto you truck's finish.

Every other week for me. Wax it usually once every 2 months or so.

Depending on the weather, at least once a week. Deepwater looks great when clean. Only problem is that when I was mine, my good 1/2 wants her's washed too.

Wow, you guys are wash freaks. No seriously I've never washed any car I've own once a week, sh*t not even once every two. Maybe it's me. I've got a white Titan and have yet to hand wash it after 3k. Just a couple times with the spray wash. Anyone know how often one should clean chrome wheels. I too thought about this topic a few weeks back and figured that you guys would wash your Titans often.

I agree Mr Clean is the best and quick. Also the soap seems to easily get the bugs off. Wash mine once a week.

I thought I wash my cars a lot. I wash all three at least once a week. The Titan is Galaxy black, so it needs a bit more love than the other two (white and silver).
