How Often Do You Wash Your 4R?
How often do you guys wash your 4Runners? I just traded my Tundra for my dad's SR5 which he always kept sparkling clean. I took it up to the woods this weekend and it is filthy...looks kinda nice with some remnants of the trail on it

I used to wash my cars once a week, religiously. Nowadays, I wash them every 10 days or so; yeah, I'm getting old :-(. The cars here in SoCal don't get too dirty.

I have a 4th Generation & probably wash it twice a year.
I live near the fog, so I spray it down everyday.
And it helps that my truck is silver.
But if you ask me how many times I wash the rims, probably once/month.
And I was the inside of all (5) wheels when I do a 5-Wheel Rotation.

My rig is still getting babied, so probably once to twice a week. But it seems like I have a curse that everytime I wash it, it decides to rain the day of or day after

I wash it way too much 
I would say 3-4 times a week. I have an unlimited car wash membership so its free regardless of how many times I wash.
Whenever its dirty or if I am just in the area of the car wash I will run it in there and make her sparkle

2200 miles and I haven't washed it once!  I might be the only person in LA with a dirty SUV. The mud and bugs are a badge of honor for me!

Mostly depends on the rain schedule down here. It's been raining damn near every day here, off, and on, for the last 3 weeks. All I can say is, I get to it whenever  .

It is nice!
No its not brushless, but they take good care of it and its brand new. It uses the microfiber cloth instead of brushes.
I just make sure to wax it a lot so I dont damage the paint with the cloth brushes.

For me it depends on the weather. Lately with all the sun and heat, the beast has not been getting that dirty- so about every 10-15 days.

I wash mine about every 2-3 weeks. I drive a company car as a daily and when I get home everyday I use that red duster thingy with the handle to wipe off all the dust/dirt. I just clay bared it last month and did a full detail/wax/polish on it. very smooth to the touch after claying it. Looks/feels like its right off the dealers lot.
