i'll usually leave mud on fer about 2 days (to show all the jeeps around town i can do it too) and then bust out the uber powerful pressure washer at the house and spray and spray until the only thing i see runnin off the truck is clear water. i get down on the ground and zap all around the bottom of the motor/tranny/t case, drivelines, brakes, and frame. then i zap the outside .. fender wells, rims, frame rails, hitch, etc.
when i want to "pimp my ride" i washe her good, clean the inside and pimp shine the interior, then wax the outside n tire shine the tires.... doesn't seem to last long tho i think i'm just a dirty girl.... sssh
