I just bust out the hose. I don't use a pressure washer on my rides, they have too much pressure and will push water past seals and into bearings. If I get real ambitious I'll get a bucket with soap water and a truck washing brush and scrub it down a little.

I use a pump up sprayer with Castrol Super Clean cut with water 50/50. I spray it on and rinse it off. It is amazing how well it cleans. Don't try the imitation Purple Power, it's not half the cleaner that Castrol makes.

Forgot to mention one thing. Rinse heavy mud and dirt off first. Then apply the Castrol.

Haven't tried the Castrol but someone else mentioned simple green, it got the mud stains out of the plastic.

I am thinking about drilling holes in the floor boards of the back seat. they don't drain very well I have even tried lifting the dump bed and hoseing it. or the water will drain and I'll still have a layer of mud laying there.

Try Castrol. It will make that green stuff seem weak

Drilling holes in the rear floor boards does work

Might do that and find some Jeep plugs to fill the holes.

I tried this tonight, hosed all the big loose stuff off first, then went through the machine section by section. Sprayed it on the hood, and hardcoat windshield, waited 30 seconds, and then hosed it off, even took off all the bug debris from driving too and from camping last weekend, i'm super impressed. Thanks for the great tip. I also drilled 2 holes in each rear seat floor pan tonight, made a huge difference for getting all the dirt out, and draining the water out.

I back the trailer into one of those self serve car wash places. low pressure wash, and air dries on the way home. Then when i get home I see all the spots I missed

spray and wipe wax when clean will keep the dirt from sticking so badly. makes clean up much easer plus it looks good.

Keep the Castrol off your hands when concentrated. It will dry your hands out and the next day your hands will be peeling.

I've been using it for many years, over 10 I'm sure of and haven't had any problems with it hurting something when cut with water.

My wife keeps a spray bottle of it on the washing machine and sprays stains with it.

I spray it from top to bottom on the pioneer and it hasn't hurt a thing.
