Depends on what type of dirt and grime you are talking about. I would first start off with a dishwashing soap (non abrasive) like Dawn and warm water. Use a semi stiff brush (similar to what car washes have) Spray 9 works good on dirt and grime as well. But I would do a test spot maybe in the bed first to make sure it doesnt affect the paint. Spray 9 can soften some paints in preperation to be painted over. Bug and tar remover is also a great product, especially if there is any tree sap on it.
