Every Morning …

[TheRoushRanger046]

Anyone have an idea for keeping the truck all clean when you wake up? I don’t have it in garage currently, and was wondering if you all use a duster each morning.. a micro towel.. nothing? Lol… I like to keep her pretty and try every morning to wipe her down with a microfiber towel and keep it going through out the day lol ?


Any suggestions?

wash it and put a heavy coat of wax or ceramic on it then in the morning flip on your air compressor and blast all the dust and debris off with the blower attachment (air broom)

Between the frequent rains where I live and the gravel roads I’m often driving, I’ve scratched a clean truck off of the list of things I worry about.

It's a TRUCK...not a garage queen. The more you treat it like one, the more you will hesitate to use it like one. "OOOHHH, I can't put stuff in the bed, it might get a scratch"....."And I know it's gonna get dirty".
Keep it clean and detailed , but daily cleaning and "wiping dust off"...no way.

Yeah, my bed hasn’t been clean since about three days after I bought the truck.

Mike, I'm still using the one I bought in the 90's. Seems the dirtier it gets the better it works.

Mack, as others have said a good coat of wax is your friend. However, during the pollen season it's a chore to keep one looking good. In my part of North Carolina, and a line of pine trees next to my house, it's a fight everyday. Thankfully pollen season is almost over here.

Yeah, I did the 303 nano spray a couple weeks ago and shortly after, the tree pollen came in full force. Now that it's washed and waxed I just let the rain clean it and it does a pretty good job. Glad I waxed it when I did. I give mine a couple weeks before a good wash unless I do some back roads, that is.

Know what you mean, with the pines..... luckily we get a couple rains a week which helps a lot.

Same here, they work great for light dust and pollen.

Lucky you Robert. When pollen season hits here the rains stop. When the wind blows you see that crap coming out of the trees. I can wash my truck, and before I'm through drying it pollen is aready attacking the thing.

I squirt mine with the hose ….

They do Jim! I had bought a new one for my Jeep and it didn't seem to work as good as the old one I've had for years that I use on my Ranger. I started using the Jeep one (now that's it's gone) and it's starting to look black and dirty but it's picking up the dust a lot better now.

One thing to keep in mind is there's paraffin wax on the duster. When brand new wrap it in either some newspaper or a brown shopping bag for 24-48hrs. It'll absorb most of the excess wax that's on it and won't leave streak marks on your finish.

Absolutely… I get both aspects. Treat it like a truck and also keep it clean. My OCD and adderall addiction doesn’t allow that to happen. ?

I can’t find a CA Duster .. out here in wonderful California lol. Sold out everywhere. But also with it being pollen … those beautiful little yellow dots are gorgeous all over my white truck as I’m drying it off and vacuuming the inside ?

Air compressor might not be a bad idea lol… just lately with the yellow dots and almost like “smoke ish” black dots when I wake up (was thinking of fires when they were going on) … the ash dots and yellow dots make me go nuts in my head.
