My first truck. Had it a week and the wheel wells and underbody are filthy. Any tricks to keeping it clean? I tried to wash them out but still very dirty.

well I bought the wheel well liners that ford sells for the rear. They do help a little. Why ford does not just put these in at the factory I don't know.

If mine get pretty muddy, I'll take a highpressure washer to the wheelwells. I never can seem to get them as clean as new, however, there is a little trick I use. Once most of the crap is off, I'll let them dry, and then squirt some of that wet tire stuff on the plastic, and let it just ooze it's way around. Tends to blacken up your frame and springs as well.

I think it's time to go get a pressure washer. I work in construction. My truck is actually my company car. It gets pretty dirty driving around on all the construction sites. I'm not a neat freak, but I like to keep my cars clean.

My wife will attest to the fact I'm not a neat/clean freak either, but with my trucks, I do try. Through the week, I try to stay out of the mud, but our truckyard is either, dust, mud, or ice.
I don't have a power washer either, so I just run the truck through a quarter car wash on Friday, the ones with a wand, then handwash, weather permitting, over the weekend.
