Well I just don't clean that truck regularly. If you're living on a dirt road you abandon cleaning your truck very quickly. There is really not much reason for that. Driving down the dirt road once and you car is dirty again. For most part that has never really bothered me. Now that I'm putting my truck up for sale I had to deal with that issue.
I first cleaned out stuff of the truck, that no longer needs to be in there. Next up was vacuuming the inside. Well, that's easier said than done. The have a electrical outlet in reach I had to park the car very close the garage. Once that was done the vacuuming 'fun' could start. Well, being a dog owner that was quite one 'furry' truck. Front and passengers side weren't that bad and I was actually done fairly quickly. The back seats were an entirely different story. I spent about 1 1/2 to 2 hours vacuuming all the dog hair off the back seats. In the end it was a success and the truck is now looking quite decent. Next I cleaned the inside of the windows and all the plastic parts and was quite happy with the progress.
After lunch I washed the majority of the dirt of the truck and then gave it a quite good wash-down. After that I just had to wash the truck one more time and it looked really good. Now my truck is all clean and shiny again!! Since I was already wet anyways I figured it might be good time to give Daisy a bath. As usually she really dislikes it. She lets me do it, but isn't too happy about out. Now I've a clean dog as well!!
Of course no good deed ever goes unpunished. While I was washing the truck it never even occurred to me that being shirtless out in the sun with no sun protection and the sun burning down hardcore is probably not the smartest idea. As I already said, it didn't occur to me while was doing that. A couple of hours later I felt that I did in fact get sunburned. It happens to me at least once a year. Guess that's the one time for 2011.
