Are you talking about getting rid of rust or just dirt/mud?


If just dirt/mud I'd say buy a gallon of Meguiar's APC+, dilute it 2:1, and go to freaking town. Spray everything down several times. Just soak the crap out of it all. Then take a hose/pressure washer and spray it all off. It's some powerful stuff. If it's not strong enough take a stiff-bristle brush and scrub it while it soaks.

ok ill have to check that out.

theres not much rust, all the caked up mud provides alot of protection against rust. :lol:

Mud, dirt, power streering fluid, oil, diff fluid, brake fluid, some blood. thats mostly the gist of it.

APC+ is your best friend, then.

It's expensive but it's in a gallon and can dilute to many different ratios. I use 10:1 on interior stuff and 5:1 on most exterior stuff (tires, exhaust tips, etc).

For heavy duty stuff you can try 2:1 or 3:1. So essentially if you use all of that for your underbody you have 2-3 gallons of the stuff. I doubt you'll use all of it, though, so you will have some leftover.
