I haven't had time lately, but typically I clay bar and wax both of them twice a year. My trail rig gets hand washed after every trail ride, and my DD typically once a week by hand as well.
As for the interior, both are cleaned regularly, leather gets treated a couple times a year in both, and I have rubber Jeep floor mats in them to keep them nice and neat. I'm relaly anal retentive about keeping my vehicles clean. It also helps to show the cops that I'mnot some careless young kid that wants to show off how muddy my rig is - keeps them from pulling me over the trailrig.

Pretty much the same as 2000 said. Been doing some car shows this year to help promote my local club. Trying to keep it a bit cleaner then normal.

I only clean the under carrige and I do that by putting a sprinkler under there for an hour or two then finish hosing it off.

I use a Mr. Clean carwash system whenever I think it needs it ... if I remember to. Or if I've received a stimulus check, I take it down to a coin-op carwash ... Gawd, I can remember doing a carwash for 75 cents . . . . . .
Since I don't do any "real off-roading", Ol' Fadedglory stays pretty clean.

Let the sprikler run for about 30 mins to an hour. Then take the water hose and a good noozle and get all the mud off. the sprinkler help a ton with loosening caked mud that has dried.
