It is cheaper and easier to just get her washed on the way home. Espeicially for removing the Grease. Even though its on your private property, someone could raise some questions to the right Govt. Branch and you would recieve a Visit and that would just be the start of your problems.
Possibily nothing would ever come of it, but boy if it did you are gona wish otherwise. The aggrivation of dragging that thing out, hooking it up, starting it up, adding the chemicals, than doing the work to only repeat the process to put it all back plus the investment. The truck wash places ARE DIRTY CHEAP compared to all of that.
I love a clean truck, heck even a clean house, car etc. but somethings are just better off letting someone else do. And for washing under nieth it aint nobody ever gona know but you. Yes a good rinse in the winter is a must, but to clean it just to clean it? Whata nuts, are you reading you know who?

Valid points but for me logistics come into play. Nearest truck wash is 40 miles south and costs $60, round trip that's 80 miles and roughly 8 gallons of fuel @ $5.00/gal works out to roughly $40. Now I have a $100 truck wash and that is just for one truck, with another one even washing twice a month means a PW pays for itself rather quickly - even an expensive hot water one. I'm with Phil, a professional model once that works, and works fast is better than Costco stuff that doesn't several times.
Property is semi rural, (ie: not in a city) exactly what kind of stuff are you talking about?
