How to wash your 4WD after an off-road trip

1. Knock off the worst. Rinse heavy mud and sand from the body, wheel arches and underbody first.
2. Foam it. Cover the 4WD in 4WD & RV Wash foam and let it sit for a few minutes, out of direct sun.
3. Degrease. Hit engine bays, diffs and suspension with Grease Attack, then agitate with the hard bristle brush.
4. Contact wash and rinse. Wash top to bottom with the Wooly Wash pillow, then rinse thoroughly.
5. Flush the chassis. After beach driving, flush the chassis rails with Chassis Flush to get trapped salt out.
6. Dry and finish. Dry with Big Mike, dress the tyres with Tyre Shine, and protect exposed metal with Chassis Champ.
