    Sometimes I think it's a waste of time also because I get mine dirty so quick. But I do give it a good cleaning every now and then. I start out with good ole soap and water and once it's dry I use something like the armor all wipes to wipe it down and get it looking new again.

    I do not have many hours on mine but after I got it I washed it down then used Mothers Spray Wax on all the smooth plastics and painted parts and Poorboy's Trim Restorer on the textured plastics and the mud flaps. I tried some wax on the alloy wheels but they have a matte finish.

    I chose a spray wax (actually a polymer sealant than a true wax) since it does not have any cleaners to stain trim and easy wipe off with some nice microfiber towels.

    It will stay clean and clean easier.

    Lemon Pledge's secret is silicones.

    Soap and a good pressure wash, let it dry, then use a excellent cleaner called plexus. Works great.
