Red dirt? Do you live on Mars?

What more could you do than to use a high-pressure hose?

best bet would be to get it high on jackstands and get under there with a pressure washer...even better, find a lift and get it good...

Griots Garage makes a thing on wheels that connects to the hose and blasts the underside of a vehicle. I'm sure it's on their website. If you want to spend a bit of money, that might be the best way to clean it and maintain it.

Yeah i would pressure wash it then get some undercarriage paint at autozone, and it would look 100x times better.

Get it on jack stands no need for high pressure. Get some simple green and lots of it. Get a cheap some what soft scrub brush. Also find some old shirts,junk towels. You will also want some saftey glasses. Put some simple green in a bucket and start cleaning. You might also want a spray bottle to put simple green into. Wont take long with simple green.. Make sure to wash areas down as you go. You dont want simple green on for several hours....
