Yeah, that's a good one. After I'm done wheeling I stop in at the spray@wash and go over my truck. I just use the spray, no scrubbing or anyting, in order to blow off all the junk. I have skid plates so I blast down there. If I end up washing my truck by hand afterwards (at home), I make sure to clean under the rear flares. Take a hose and stick your hand back there. There is a ton of gunk. Also, every once and a while, pull off all the fender well plastic moulding. You'll get crap back there as well. Clean it, and lay down some hard wax to help prevent rust.
