How I Wash My Bronco

[MDH]

never wash, or wash every 5 minutes. I love it. 2.3 or 2.7. AT or manual. 2 door or 4. All are good. Vive la différence!

I ceramic coated my wife's Bronco after the first couple weeks getting it. She just hits it with the water hose and then dries it off a couple times a week. Looks perfect after that. She'll do that to my f150 also, unless it's hunting season. It stays full of SW Louisiana mud then. There is an advantage to having an OCD wife sometimes. Everything is always clean. At this very moment she's on the pressure washer cleaning the siding on the house. I'm smoking some briskets.

Damn bro! That's ruthless... now I have to hit a BBQ place for num num lunch today. There's $60 bucks I'll blow on my tummy that could have been used for Bronco mods...

I live your policy. But the damned dealer washed it when I got a FordPass-paid oil change. Didn’t hardly recognize it. Doesn’t rain for months here in Kalifornia. But it eventually transfers good NV-AZ-CO-UT dirt to my area!

Wish I can say the same here but the white top gets dirty real fast. I typically just blast my Bronco with water. No soap or anything fancy

I’m getting the same Shadow Black Heritage-build next week-hopefully.

Go ahead and make fun of me if you want, I have an unlimited car wash subscription on my last rig so I kept it up for this one. So mine gets washed probably twice a week. Sometimes more if I'm going out of town. We do have a lot of bugs and rain in Arkansas so there is that.

That being said, I have a 2002 F350 that looks new, except for a few small dents from a pine tree. I keep my rigs for a long time, don't trade them when the ashtray gets full.

Do the brushes at the carwash damage the soft top canvas. I wash by hand for that reason...

I have not noticed any changes. I'm trying to keep an eye on that.

I have yet to find a local car wash capable of washing my Raptor, the wheels don't fit. I wash it once a month, about the same frequency as my showers. Why wife would beat me for saying that

Hey, fellow AR Bronco owner! Don’t feel bad - I hand wash mine. And FWIW, diy ceramic coat helps ease removal of those higher adhesive bugs we have out in our neck of the woods.

Mine is the carbonized gray but both colors are great! Good luck with your build hopefully no delays for you

Oh yeah, I see it better now. Nice! Have had one delay from 8/12 to 8/26. Hope that’s it.

It’s worth the wait I promise

My primary order got bumped the same way.

BUT the back up order got built and claims to be shipped already !!!

April-October, I wash and wax every week or two. November-March, it gets dirty, but will rinse salt off occasionally.

You're right. I waxed mine with 2 coats of Turtle wax ceramic spray wax (Hybrid) which my son bought for me. Seems to work pretty good.

He bought me a 'wash kit' for Christmas one year. I have a pressure washer along with a foam gun that I use for everything other than the Bronco. Since I keep it clean and can effortlessly wash it in 2 minutes I just stick with the automatic wash for now.

Handwashing takes me considerably longer on the F350 but I do enjoy it unless it is cold outside. The F350 won't work in any automatic car washes around here because of the antennas, winch bumper, big mirrors etc... Of course the Harleys have to be hand washed as well. We definitely have some bugs here. At least we don't have any 'love bugs', those things are terrible.
