OCD or Tredsdert

[Grayhound]

The vehicle paint color that camouflages road detritus the best, in my experience, is silver.

The worst? Black, full stop.

What do you think hides the pin stripes the best? My stinggray hides them pretty well!

All this thread proves is that people have no clue how crippling and debilitating actual OCD is.

Anal retentive is the term you're looking for.

Let us not forget the word colloquial exists.

I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!! ?

I was going to wash the Wrangler for the last time on Friday, but ended up not getting around to it... and then I did this!

I got a waterproof one piece top coming in later today, and I will be running the Wrangler this way until this upcoming December at least. So I guess no more car washes for me. The once it gets warmer, I'll probably wipe it down and hose it down in the front yard!

Honestly the only things I really take constant care of are my front windshield which I'll clean every couple of weeks to get the bugs off of. And then I take care of my headlights fog lights off-road lights tail lights third brake light every 2 weeks. I'll give it a good clean up and then every 3 months or so all give the headlight lense a good polish and ceramic treating.

But for the most part, I only really clean it to keep the dust down. Honestly if I wash it and get it all shiny, it'll only be like a day or two before it's dirty again, so why bother. Waste your time for something that's inevitably going to get dirty again.

Gosh dang, you got the Treds mobile looking good bro, I almost didn't recognize it. I mean hot damn you got that rascal looking tighter than a high string on a two dollar fiddle.

I'm not worried about the Jeep being shiny but I am particular about road salt and mud, especially in and around the frame.

Living in the Northeast, I'll hose the underbelly around once a week if roadsalt is present like now.

Just got my 2024 so it has yet to be broken in with the proper trail rash but rest assured it's coming shortly.

That's definitely one of the benefits of having moved to Texas.

Back in Connecticut, vehicles wouldn't last very long thanks to all that damn road salt in the winter, and all the damn sand they were throwing down.

Down here in Texas, if we do ever get snow, the likelihood of them salting the roads outside of the interstates is extremely low.

I think Frisco does it in certain places, but we don't associate with those rich folks down there.

Nothing worse then getting my big behind on the ground hosing out the frame in barely above 32 degrees and forget the driveway is at an angle and all that salty cold slop going up the back of my pant leg and shirt

You know what the difference is between this thread and Pauly shores new movie about Richard Simmons…


@Tredsdert approves of it. Richard Simmons does not.

Love this group!!!

I’m absolutely fine getting mine dirty on the trails but ingrained in me also is the inability to put it away dirty.
‘Despite having multiple photo and video evidence that she’s done many challenging trails many people believe she’s a pavement princess. I’m ok with that, actually find it amusing.

 

[Punknhed]

i think Punkin looks the best clean and shiny.
that said, im not afraid to get it dirty. but it gets clean soon after. not a fan of dirty vehicles, or house.

Rain forecast for tomorrow. I am prepared.
Sprinkle generously ?

 

[JL ME]

I work at a cheese factory with big heated bays and hot hoses so I wash it every Friday if it needs it or not.

 

[Phrank]

Got my current JL in April of 2022. It was fully washed/waxed when I picked it up from the dealer, and hasn't seen soap since. If it doesn't wash off in the rain, it doesn't come off. My vehicles work for me, not the other way around.

Now, I do vacuum the interior once each year in the late Spring in preparation for door removal - don't want to have litter blowing out all over the place.

Weekly cleaning with borderline OCD on certain things.

 

[OrneryBear]

I do my best in the warmer months to keep the jeep clean, but between the kids and my wife the interior is never clean. Nothing gross, just dirty.

The exterior always has dirt on it unless I've just cleaned it. During the week my wife will take the jeep to meet with her clients (she owns/operates a garden center marketing agency), which often involves off roading, so it usually comes back with dirt/mud all over the underbody and sides.

If I worked at a cheese factory, I wouldn't be able to fit in the Jeep!
