take it to one of them power wash places, and spray the **** outta it. Hell, I see people who take their trucks mudding doing this all the time. Seems to work for most people. Only thing is, if you are spraying under the hood, be careful for the electronics, and also dont do it while hot (I am sure u knew that already though )

the zaino brothers stuff works really well, as does meguires.

it kinda depends on how much work you want to do, those multi step ones are and all weekend deal

Smells like burning dirt, you say? How bad can that be? I'm sure you'll get used to it after awhile. Just hang one of those little trees off your rear-view mirror. That'll fix it!

Or, you could mask the dirt smell with the smell of burning rubber. B)

if you ran it off a cliff then you probably need a new one. once you get all of the crap off of it use meguiars quick wax. i use that and its great. you spray it on and then wipe it off. its great
