Hey everyone. First jeep, and first time washing it today as I've had it about 3 weeks and took it off roading last weekend. Nothing major just some gravel roads that were wet with some small puddles, but left streaks of mud up the sides of the jeep, all over the fenders, etc.
The first thing I did was hose the whole thing down the day after I got back. That got the chunks off but left lots of sand/streaks still on the jeep. Today I actually washed the jeep, soap, water, sponge, etc. I went over the entire jeep and after rinsing all the soap off there was still tons of sand and streaks all over places I already washed with the sponge. Did the whole thing again, still stuff leftover, some on the paint, lots more on the plastic on the fender flares and the rock sliders/etc. I then used a damp rag and tried to scrub a little harder on all of the black plastic and rock sliders and even after going over everything 3 more times I really couldn't get it truly clean. What a nightmare.
There has to be something I'm missing or some easier way, otherwise I guess I'll just go back to drive through full-touch carwashes as I'm definitely not willing to put this much effort into a simple vehicle wash every time lol.
