Your usual cleaning Schedule for you truck.
I wash my truck every Monday and Friday. Clean the interior every other Friday.
The longest it has gone with out being cleanned, is prolly, now which is about 3 weeks.
It is driving me nuts, but I have little things to finish up, since I am doing the Herculiner.

I wash mine atleast 3x a week. the longest it went with out being washed was from 8/1/07 - 8/16/07 so about 15 days or so..... (it was being repaired) Tho i did do a FULL clean job, of the exterior, interior, engine compartment, under carriage, the works BEFORE i called a flat bed. so it went into the shop super clean, and sparkly... tho, being a body shop it got mondo dusty.... SO I have been working on that... just gotta detail the engine again and itll be clean... Ill tell ya, I hate workin on dirty vehicals... my turck will never be a 'dirty' vehical.... Hell i can change my oil, in a white shirt, and dress pants and not get dirty at all... I had the gasket go on my tranny pan and spent 2hrs scrubbing EVERYTHING dad said i had lost my mind and that i was absolutely crazy... but its now clean. and its purty... hell it still looks new on the underside!
I wash mine any time these 2 things happen: I have a day of AND rain is not predicted for at least 3 days.
Why do trucks Get dirty in the rain? It never happened on my car or on the van that sits right next to it. There all dark green too.

i havent washed my truck since august 28th, 07. which was a wednesday, my trucks 3yr anniversary of me owning it. I planned to do a 'then - now' thing, but then dad died on sunday. i havent touched the truck with soap since. so about 3 weeks now. it needs to be washed waxed and interior detailed, but in all honesty, its like, **** it.
I used to wash my truck at least 2x a week now it's when it's dirty enough that I can't stand it anymore or when there's to much break dust on the front wheels that the aren't shiney. I couldn't tell you the last time I cleaned my interior.
the longest i have ever gone was with my old s 10 and the clear coat was gone so i didnt care ... i think i went like 3 months.... trust me it sucked to clean it offf.. but sense i got the rngr i wash that sucker like every week....
Wash - atleast once every other week
Wax - Once or twice a month if I get to it
Detail - Every wash
Vaccum - When I cant stand the dirt and crap so that would be once or twice a month
Full Detail - Before carshows
Interior - The same as the vaccum
The longest would be about 2 or 3 months.

Wash like once every 2 weeks. wipe down once a week. Wax once per season. 4x/yr. or wash after im done 4 wheelin and the big chunks of mud stuck to the side don't look cool anymore. DIY car wash to spray off pollen everyother day in spring. Bad pollen in SNJ.

I like that schedule. I could almost handle that.
I usually wash the weekends accumulation of mud off on Sunday night after work, sometimes drive around with it muddy for a week. It's a truck ,it gets offroaded a lot, it isnt going to be to pretty.
