    Does anyone have any good tips or tricks to wash the undercarriage of my truck after mud dries on? Spraying off underneath take off most of it but plenty is left behind. If I have to go under my truck and take a brush to it I guess that's what it has come to lol

    There is an attachment that is on wheels that hooks to a power washer that sprays upwards. It is popular in the north to wash off salt.

    Get some de greaser and spray it after you gone around and sprayed off most of the dirt. After spraying on the degreaser just shoot everything down again and all or most of the dried mud will come off. There are certian dilution guidelines when using their products regardless if you use the spray bottle or the gallon bottle.
