Just think what this mud will do to your metal work, sitting there, damp most of the time, and mixed in with road salt.

Add some Horse dung (polite alternative to what I was going to type), very acid, and you have a great corrosive mix going on.

But all your waxoyl will protect it.....

Not really, as the mud dries, it dries out the waxoyl and that can come away with the mud, in fact most things will, including any paint that was there.

Why do inner wings rot ? I rest my case.

10 minutes off roading = 40 minutes with a power washer.
20 minutes off roading = 40 minutes with a power washer.
30 minutes off roading = 40 minutes with a power washer.

So a day off roading still only = 40 minutes with a power washer.

manure of any variety is very corrosive, it eats wheel barrows and ruins yer boots too!

I'd already cleaned the car when I posted the pics .Bought the car early 99 and have always cleaned underneath especially after offroading it,

Underneath normally looks like this.
