what soap to clean undercarriage

im selling my 4runner because i just bought an 07 taco, but i need to know how to get all of the mud(residue) off of the undercarriage. i pressure washed it, but the residue is still there when it dries. what soap or cleaning stuff do you guys use to make it look new again?

pressure washed off should be good enough, paint over it, it will start to peel off for the next guy, not you.

Put a sprinkler under it for an hour or two and let it soak...then scrub it off with a brush and some dishwashing detergent.

i basically did that, but that means i would have to scrub everywhere. it would take a couple hours or more. it would be great if someone made some real tough stuff to just spray on and later on just rinse it off, like a degreaser or something.

if u can get a hold of some engine degreaser or a pink product called liqui clean that works awesome for mud. we use liqui clean at my bodyshop i work in. I know a business called automagic carries the product. may be able to search the internet for it. comes in a 5 gallon bucket for about 32 dollars but is well worth it. just dont use on aluminum wheels it will discolor them and turn them white
