Hi there I have a simple question can a truck be sparayed with I dont know teflon or diesel fuel or anything to help stop the mud fron sticking to the wheel wells and undercarriage as it takes like 4 or 5 hours a day to wash my truck ?

So what do you guys think? I know I wouldn't be spraying deisel on my rig.

That being said, I think that Stacy David (the original Trunks! host) may have said to use Pam kitchen spray. I think that's where I heard it. I've been wrong before though.

Custom cut some teflon sheeting and use it as wheelwell inserts in place of the stock plastic. Or some type of teflon spray, not very cost affective though I wouldn't think.

Buy a gas powered pressure washer.

Seriously though, my Grandfather used to use Armour All on his inner fenders and it always looked like new. Just a quick spray with a garden hose cleaned them right up.

Cheers :beer:.

I know some on Jeep Forum will use Pam in their engine compartment for keeping the mud off.
I tried using simple green and it definitely cleaned some of the grime off from inside the compartment

Tire shine or armor all like Jamie said. Works like a charm.

I wouldn't use anything petrolium based, it would leave resudue in the water/mud.
Pam or Veg oil if you feel you must use something or like Jamie said, bigger pressure washer.

Or, if it's too much of a pain to wash the truck, stay out of the mud. :clue:
