Yours is gas, I wish the electric guys could keep their stuff clean. Even just a little garden hose action. a little cleanup, and preventative maintenance goes a long ways. I agree with, Smallblock, if it's too nasty I charge extra for cleanup. it is my job when it goes in for maintenance, but it's also your job when you have it for the other 6 months (or far longer, cough, cough, dust coming out of the batteries).

I do take real good care of my belongings, whether it be the honda atv, polaris rzr, golf cart, jet ski, tractors etc. i always get a real good trade in or sell price after years of usage due to the condition and how well maintained they are kept. Tech your right about how well a little pm and cleaning goes a long way.

I do all the maintenance and repairs on everything we own guess that's why I like to keep them clean always check it over before and after rides my grandfather said if you take care of your equipment it will take care of you while doing oil change on his tractor when I was little and it has stuck with me ever since.

A wet magic eraser works great on the plastic and vinyl.

If you do regular washing, no pressure washer is needed.

#1 For light soiling: spray with simple green (environmentally friendly), let it soak a few minutes, lightly mist it with water, spray with green again, let it soak 30 minutes, rinse with light mist, dry with leaf blower lol. Dry off with leaf blower. Let sit in sun for a few hours.

#2 For mud: rinse off with water (under the big ole oak tree), let water soften mud for 20 mins, spray off with spray nozzle on jet, use a stiff bristle brush to get the hard stuff, rinse often and repeat. Last step, simple green soak, then rinse. Dry off with leaf blower. Let sit in sun for a few hours.

#3 For grease/oil: you're in for a long day lol ..... follow #2, but use the pressure washer on 30 degree pattern no closer than 12". DO NOT SPRAY ELECTRONICS. Spray Simple Green, soak, spray, repeat. Oh yeah, fix that dang oil leak!!! Dry off with leaf blower. Let sit in sun for a few hours.
