My solution: Power washer. Mud caked to clean in 30 seconds.

I do run with significant rear lighting always, so when it's raining I am OK already. A MagicShine tail (about equivalent to the AA Dinotte rear light) on steady, a Knog Blinder 4V on slow fade/pulse and a Cygolite Hotshot on rapid pulse is my current rear lighting strategy (plus a reflective vest)
