So your Jeep is a mess from a couple days of wheeling the previous weekend, you didn't have time to wash it before the work week, it is Thursday and you just set a date for Friday night.

There is leftover camping gear still inside, mud all over, sticks & leaves on the floor and a light coating of dust inside. Say you have a pop-top Jeep and the top is still off and/or doors missing, etc. too. (for those w/ that option)

What do you do?

depends on the date. Fancy dinner, etc. you need to clean it. Burgers,fries and a movie, you just need to do a quick touch up.

what he said! and it depends on the type of girl or date your on. if shes a girly girl that doesnt like to get her "clean fancy date clothes" dirty trying to get in, yes clean it up well, shes not gonna wanna get her clothes all dirty trying to get in. or shes the type of girl that likes to get dirty offroad and knows how to get into a dirty jeep in nice clothes!!

thats the best when you pull into a fancy resturaunt type place with people dropping their women off at the door in their limos and BMW's, Mercedes, Lexus, and you pull up in a dirty muddy JEEP!! you get the best looks hahaha

My girl loves the outdoors and getting dirty and for that I am thankful. That is why when it is time to go out on the town I like to clean it up for her so her pretty black dress stays black and not some shade of Arizona red rock mud. You also don't need leaves and dirt stuck to your butt when you fold the rear seats down and are enjoying the end of the date :wink: caveat....if your date is a nice moonlight drive in the desert it is okay to be dirty, and get even dirtier :)

My Jeep's never clean anyway.

I also like to set the expectations low on the first date. I fart, wear a tattered, dingy white t-shirt, crappy looking jeans, and usually haven't shaved in a week or so.

If I get a 2nd date, she's so impressed THEN that it doesn't matter;)

I voted to leave it as is but then if the inside is a mess, I would clean it up on the inside and leave the outside alone.

FWIW mine is pretty clean on the inside right now but the outside is all muddy so I am ready for a date.......haha
