Most car washes/ detail shops won't even do it. Or they'll just say its $75 an hour with a 5 hour minimum

yea what he said^^ I would have gone through the automatic car wash while the mud was still wet to get most of it off, that's what I use to to an it got 95% of the outside off. what I loved about doing that is the car wash has the undercarriage spray! so I would go back an forth over it acouple of times till I thought it was good enough. then paid for the cheapest ($5) wash they had. then went drive around an went to the hand wash one an got whatever else was there with the pressure washer they have, mostly in the wheel wells and underneath

I did that once and they kicked me out of the car wash because I clogged all the drains. They wont even let me go back through when I just wanna wash my truck with no mud.
