For vehicles that leave the pavement
Millcreek driveways are full of Tacomas, 4Runners, Subarus with roof boxes and vans built out for camping. They go up Mill Creek Canyon after work, to the Uintas in summer and to the desert when the valley gets cold. They come back dirty in a way a quick wash doesn't fix.
We clean these from the bottom up. The underbody, wheel wells, frame and suspension come first, since that is where the mud, dust and salt collect and do damage. Then the body gets a careful hand wash.

How we clean a dirty rig
- 1. Knock down the heavy stuff. A low-pressure rinse softens caked mud so it falls away without scratching.
- 2. Underbody and wheel wells. Frame, suspension, skid plates, inner fenders and the backs of the wheels.
- 3. Foam and hand wash. Clean mitts on the body, after the grit has been floated off.
- 4. Seams and hiding places. Door jambs, hinges, bumper cavities, tailgate and rack mounts.
- 5. Dry and protect. Hand dried, with a sealant on the paint and a dressing on plastic trim.
Red dirt from the desert
Anyone who has driven home from Moab or the San Rafael Swell knows the red dirt. It's very fine, it gets into every seam, and it stains. Left on paint and plastic through a few rainstorms, it leaves an orange tint that washing alone won't lift.
We rinse it out of the places it hides: door jambs, hinges, fuel door, cowl, bumper cavities, roof rack mounts and the tops of the frame rails. Light-colored paint and textured plastic trim get a cleaner made for mineral staining. The sooner it's done after a trip, the more comes out.
Mud, dust and what they do underneath
Dried mud holds moisture against metal, packs around brake components and throws wheels out of balance when it cakes on the inside of the rims. Dust works into suspension bushings and door seals. Neither is dramatic, and both shorten the life of the parts they sit on.
An underbody rinse after a muddy trip takes care of it. We work from several angles so the water reaches above skid plates and inside the frame, where a drive-through spray bar doesn't.
Winter salt
Between Mill Creek, Parleys and the Cottonwoods, a Millcreek truck sees a lot of treated road in winter. Salt and magnesium chloride deicer cling to the underside and keep corroding on dry days. We flush it out and wash the lower body with a neutralizer.
Every two weeks is a good rhythm if you ski most weekends. At minimum, do one thorough flush in spring.
Racks, boxes, tents and bikes
Roof boxes, rooftop tents, bike racks, awnings and recovery gear all trap dirt and make washing awkward. We clean around and under them by hand. If you want the roof done properly, taking the box or tent off beforehand lets us reach all of it.
Questions about truck and suv detailing in Millcreek
Can you get red dirt stains off white paint?
Usually, especially soon after the trip. Staining that has sat for months may need a clay bar or light polish to remove fully.
Do you wash lifted trucks and vans with rooftop tents?
Yes. Tell us about the lift, tires and anything on the roof when you ask for a quote.
Will washing off the mud make a mess of my driveway?
We rinse so the heavy material stays where it can be swept up, and we tidy the area before we leave. If you'd prefer us to work on gravel or at the curb side of the drive, say so.
How soon after an off-road trip should I have it washed?
Within a week or two if you can. Mud holds moisture against metal and red dirt stains more the longer it sits.
Do you clean engine bays?
On request, with a gentle rinse and hand cleaning. We don't blast engine bays, and we'll say if yours is better left alone.
