Yeah i was gonna try that

But the car was too low to get over the nozzles i was thinking about adjusting the height but it would be too much hassle. I need something that i can just spray on that eats the dirt but doesnt damage the car in any way.

I didnt wanna do any rally driving honestly... but it was heaps of fun sliding around and getting muddy. It handled really well for a wagon and with the power it was awesome. dont think i will do it again in a hurry though...

Andrew, you need to get the mud wet again and then it will run straight off. If I were you for the underbody I'd jack one end of the car right up and stick some tall axle stands under it, then get under there with a hose connected to warm or hot water. If you don't have an external tap with hot water you can always run a long hose through your laundry or something. If you can hire a high-pressure gun with a detergent reservoir that would be even better! Just give it constant spray for five to ten minutes and I doubt there will be any mud left after that :)

BTW I do NOT recommend using very high pressure too close to the car nor while there is still visible mud, as you will scratch your paint! Reasonable tap pressure through a garden nozzle should be all you need with warm water and detergent.

haha nice one!

I'd hose most of it off with a normal hose, or you could go to one of the touchless car washes, most Mobil stations have them now.
