Pewter is the best colo to keep clean. We havent washed our 02 since the snow stopped falling and it still looks clean.
This week after work I am detailing our vehicles though. Starting with the TDI Jetta, my mom is a slob. Plus the seats need conditioning. Gotta keep that ultra leather maintaned.
Also polishing all of the wheels too, the farms 03 wheels are black and the 02s are brown/yellow tinted.
And my truck will sit in the corner of the shop with envy.

Many mods to come over the winter.
I only drive mine once or so a week and on the weekends. But If there is a water mark on the windshield I was it. Interiors clean usually vacum the carpets every other month, wash all the center consol rubbers every wash and scrub both front mats. Usually degrease the frame every month. Hell if its gonna rain I drive another car!
I have another car I keep it spotless in and out and try to keep my tow trucks clean as well. But, where they are we have a gravel parking lot

My truck and my 2007 Saturn Aura are always VERY clean. OCD is a good way to put it. My wife, however, is the same as many and thinks the car = trash can. My wife always says that my truck ranks #1 in order of importance. She says my kids are second and she is dead last. I disagree...If she were in an accident in my truck I would ask if she was OK before I yelled at her for F'n up my truck.
its a truck!!!!!!!! what do you care? i hate to see what happens when you scratch it...by the way, everything i own is dirty...all that matters is that it works right?
Wash mine twice a week and vaccum the inside every time I wash it. The bad part is it sits in the garage all week i only drive it maybe once on the weekends.
