Mud Is A Hard To Get Off
I went off-roading yesterday in the mudd for awhile and around here mudd isnt mudd, its more of a clay the packs and sticks. Does anyone have any good ways of getting off the underside of your truck. Right now Iv just been poking it with a stick and pressure washing it but its not working to well.

this is what I do...
Step 1 use the pressure washer on your truck. Under and above. Just to get the big chunks off.
Step 2 put a sprinkler that goes back and fort under your truck..Go find something to do and move it every 20 - 30 Mins.
Step 3 Put on you swim suit. Grab the hose and crawl underneath your truck and have at it.
Step 4 Use the powerwasher with soap and water

One of my buddies at the FD made this awesome contraption. He took a piece of 2" iron pipe about 6 feet long and drilled lots of little holes along it to make it like the bar on one of those oscillating sprinklers. There are little feet on both ends to hold it from rolling. One end is capped. The other end has threading to hook up to a fire hose.
So we pull out a fire truck, hook the hose up to the thing and crank the 1000 gallon per minute pump up to about 100psi. Then you drive over the big *** sprinkler. It will make your under body SPOTLESS!

I would say hook up your pressure washer to a heated water source. I always find heat and water can work wonders more then just plain cold water. I think of it like doing the dishes. Spray cold water on the caked on stuff and it does nothing, but spray hot water on them and voila, you almost dont have to wash them.. hahaha..
But really when my truck is loaded with salt i take it down to the coin car wash because the water is heated. Cleans everything, just bring lots of coins. :D

Once it's off though, spray tire shine or baby oil in your wheel wells and on the under carriage. You won't have the mud problem again.
I use tire shine on everything in the wheel wells, and it makes cleaning the mud off that much easier.
Just a tip.
As for getting the crap off........just keep poking and scrubbing.....low volume, high pressure is the best for pressure washing. Have fun!!
