Hi All, I went up to Sandy Cape (Jurien, WA) for Easter and on the Easter Thursday it rained leaving the tracks muddy. When I went to clean off the Jayco, the body came up clean as a whistle but the chasis and underbody is caked with mud and won't shift. I took to it with truck wash, high pressure cleaner and a scrubbing brush and still wont shift. It has set like cement. I dont want to scrape it as I dont want to scratch off the Galv. Has anyone any ideas to get it clean?

Sit it over a sprinkler for an hour then blast off with hose. Need to make it all wet through like mud again and then comes off pretty easy......

Put a sprinkler under it and run it for an hour, the moisture will penetrate the mud and then it hould pretty much fall off if not come off with high pressure.

Once you've got the CT and the tug clean, a good soaking in CT18 Truck Wash also helps to get the last bit of grime off. Beware though, CT18 will strip off all the wax and polish too.

Thanks BigJules, I didn't know that! Explains why I have to polish the Prado so often.
