I am starting to think that you might have a bit of a fixation on old things, Will have to tell Incisor to watch out at the BBQ

Nah, if you washed your rangy as in the pic at the top, you'd still have crud in it after you finished washing. You need to park it in a river, and leave it there for 3 hours while walking back to get the recovery vehicle like this:

Then, it's had nice clean mountain stream water flowing though it! :evil: <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">(Mind you, the water doesn't look real clean in this photo)</span>

Judging by the colour of the water in the creek there is enough tannic acid there to deal with the pelts, seatcovers to ugboot leather,
I'd sell "only used on Sundays to go to church" some distant and far flung parish somewhere. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

I have one a karcher that is.
In Vic you can use one in NSW you can't due to the peculiarities of water restrictions between states.... figure that :roll:

I got one of those staun massojet thingies.
Does the trick nicely - ups the tap pressure enough to wash off all that mud a normal hose nozzle just wets further. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
If you wanted to really "power it up" though (and possibly remove the duco in the process) you can get another attachment for it which allows you to hook up an air compressor to drive the water even faster..... 8O

They did a test not so long ago about washing your car with a hose or with buckets, the result came up that you use more than 3 times the amount of water with buckets rather than the hose 8O
now that your lives are fulfilled by that info you may live on style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Well you gotta throw a lot of buckets of water at the chassis rails to get the mud off them :!:

After a rather deep clay pit I had to get under and claw out the clay from all the crevices.
Rear bumper was the worst, was almost full in the end caps.
