I have found that if it's muddy, I break out the $99 pressure washer that I bought on sale for $79.

After that if I want to go farther I use some of the Dollar store "Totally Awesome" stuff in a spray bottle. It's $3 a gallon. And then if I want to show off a bit I use the Eagle One spray on and hose off wash/wax stuff. It works pretty damn good.

Cover all works wonders in mud. Almost as good as SC1 and you get 2 cans for price of one sc1.

I pressure wash, spray purple power from a back pack sprayer then pressure wash again. I will blow it off using the leaf blower then spray cover all and wipe it off after it sits for a min or so.

Every few rides I'll pull the side panels and wheels/tires and use the same process above.

I have that same little washer, it works pretty good for how big it is. I usually have to wash mine about 10 times give or take to get it mostly clean lol.

Yea I don't care how many time I wash mine I seem to always find dirt.

I use a pressure washer, Foam Cannon with Zep truck and trailer wash or a mixture of 1/3 zep degreaser, 1/3 tide, 1/3 dawn -

I usually end up soaping down at least twice and running some sort of brush/rag over

Then when all those fail I cover it up with SC1..

I have washed and washed and washed and washed and washed.
I gave up.
I am whole heartedly in "Piss on it" category.
Pressure wash the mud off, then get some real Oxy Clean ( Lows ) put it in a sprayer, spray down your rig out of the sun/wind, wash off before it dries, you will be amassed.

Running around in prairie dog towns/pastures will give you a new perspective on dirty :)

I personally have found if I powerwash the mud off then spray the sxs with Simple Green purple, let it sit for a few minutes, it comes right off with s carwash brush and a good rinse. I use the Hydro shot from Worx. It attaches to my house and is battery operated. Great tool.
