Undercarage Cleaning Help
Alright so today I figured I would clean up my undercarage a little bit and get all the mud off.
After about an hour of power washing and using car wash with an old rage I finished.
Only I am disappointed with the end result. After everything dried it still looked dirty. Here are some before and after pics.
After:
How do you guys get your looking so black and clean? Do I need to paint? or try a differnt cleaner that works for metal? Any help is greatly appraciated.

Took me about 4 hours with a floor jack, except with the taller tires (33's), the jack wasn't much help. I need a lift...LOL! Took off the wheels and went to town with a brush and some APC. I really don't care for the painted look. Just clean is OK for me.

I just let it go back and forth and moved it occasionally.

Gotta admit....got some weird looks as people went by...
"Uh....do you know you have a sprinkler under the truck"
"yea it was starting to brown so I'm watering it."
(got the idea from here and it worked great)

My wife has been after me to get nerf bar running boards. I like my truck without them, and then she said, "if you had them, the dirty frame would not show when you see the side of the truck". That started working on my mind, so Saturday while cleaning the truck, I got down on the ground and washed the frame that is exposed on the sides. It still looked faded and funky, so I thought about painting it, but then I decided to spray it with "Wet Tire". It looks great now. I felt like a Jr Rockpick for a few minutes.

It's not a show car so it's fine for me.
