Baked on dirt...

My frame has some baked on dirt and I was trying to get it off today and I was able to get about half of it off with the hose on "jet" but the rest of it stayed baked on there. Could an electric pressure washer get it off? Or if you have any other ways, because I dont really want to go buy a pressure wahser just for this..

Re: Baked on dirt...

I would suggest an SOS pad, unless you are worried about scratching that undercoating crap. Else you might want to try some elbow grease
