    well went mudding the other day and the truck is a mess. my question to you guys is what is the best way to clean under the hood and the engine bay without messing anything up. and second is what is the best way to clean off your exhaust and brakes. the mud baking on them smells. thanks for the help guys. On a side note anyone ever think of having like a cleaning and care as a forum? just throwing it out there thanks again

    engine bay: self-service car wash. use that green tire wash then spray it off with the rinse without holding down the trigger.

    all the other stuff: pull the trigger and blast it to hell

    :washing:Just some advice. If you spray the fenderwells with foaming tire spray when cleaning it will enable you to get alot mud and crap off easier next time. I do my motor with it to. WOW!! Makes a differance!
