    We always just washed the engines weekly with the hot water washer. Always spotless. Not a huge deal if you keep up on it regularly.

    Wab tire dressing, I use it too blue color.
    The degreaser works good on inside frame rails and rear ends and such. Entire truck chassis gets degreased 2 times a year. Keeps the #### nasty winter chemicals from eating everything for sure.

    Zep truck and trailer wash works great for me. Buy a 30 dollar foam Cannon from Lowes to apply with a pressure washer let it sit and rinse off.

    My local Freightliner carries these products.

    I did not know that. Good info.
    I used to dump some in with my drilling rig coveralls. Can’t say it really helped. That mud base was a #####.

    It will start out as a white film you can't seem to get rid of. I doubt it would cause any major issues but I wouldn't clean my wheels with it if I cared how they looked lol.

    The regular old Gunk foam Engine cleaner works real good. Let it soak a bit, gets into nooks and crannys. Rinse off.

    Wet it down really good with oven cleaner then drive it to the car wash if you don’t have a hot water washer. Or buy a cheap gas powered pressure washer and feed it off a hot water tank. Last longer than you think. Not perfect but will get er done
