I Washed My Truck, Another Year Gone

This was the weekend we’ve all been waiting for. My truck got its annual bath. I did make a half-assed attempt to wash some of it earlier this year with a window squeegee, but it only looked worse.

The first portion of the cleaning process was to hose out the truck bed. I kid you not, there were things growing back there in the left over hay, straw, lumber yard popcorn and hunks bark. There was a lot of grass growing, one fern and a sunflower start. There were ear wigs and termites mixed in with the organics. I got down to the bottom of it all and returned the contents to the earth.

I washed and dried the body displacing many spiders and I actually vacuumed the interior. I filled my one gallon shop-vac, and plugged the hose several times with wads of hay. Carpeting in cars aren’t easy to clean. It seems they are designed to attract and hold on to dirt. It makes me miss my old Jeep. It had drain holes in the floor. Just hose it out and it was clean.

I now have a quasi clean truck. It even smells good. Let the new year begin in the dirty truck project.
