Ok, this may be a fairly lame topic, but I'm wondering where you guys with full size, long bed pickups take your trucks to be washed. Mine is a 3/4T ford with extended cab, and the turning radius is not to good, so I've had issues with some car wash places where its a tight fit. Of course theres the mirrors to watch out for also.

I've taken it to those touchless type washes where you pull in and sit while the nozzles spray around the truck, but I'm not happy with the results.

So where do you all take your trucks for washing???

I pull mine over next to the garage.

It's closer to the hose rack.

It rained here 2 weeks ago-it got washed then. Mine doesn't fit thru the carwash because of the siding brake and ladder rack on the top, and I don't have the time to hand wash. Hasn't seen soap in 6 years- it's an '05.

When I have time (all weekend:p), in the driveway. Otherwise, I take it to the Blue Beacon Truckwash and get the works:thumbsup: $14 and about 20 minutes later, it is shining like new!

My hay crew and I wash and clean all of the eq., inside and out, after the season. It takes us a week or so to do, me I'm fixing things for next year and the crew, mostly made up of high school football players and wrestlers or greasing and washing. They work hard for me and this is a slower pace, we have fun, a water fight or two, :) and every evening we - B Q for them. :licking: Its my way of saying thanks! :thumbsup:

A $300 3000psi gas powered pressure washer is one of the best investments you can make. I even have a 20ft hose for winter use since it's easier to drain.
