I wanted to share a homemade undercarriage wash device that is good to use for the Garden Hose washer. I do not use a pressure washer. For people with pressure washers you can buy a special undercarriage washer attachment.

For your typical garden hose user this works pretty good and the pressure is good too.

We built this device a little longer then the guy who makes the "Underwasher" so we don't have to bend as much when using it. Also you can hold it upright rinse the top of the truck/car

One: 10 foot 1/2" PVC.

Two: 45 Degree 1/2" elbows

One: 1/2" PVC Pipe Cap

Pvc: Glue or Glue & Primer

one: 3/4in x 1/2in Swivel Hose adapter: Ace hardware part #48479

Ace Quick Connector Hose Coupling Set.

This took only 15 minutes or so to build. We had the hardware store cut the 10 foot pvc in half. We decided when we got home, the wand part that shoots the spray, we only wanted roughly 2 1/2 feet of it so we used pvc cutters to cut the piece. We used the spare piece later to act as a handle.

We drilled holes roughly every 4 inches or so and added a few angled holes to get different directions of spray.

we glued the two elbow pieces, the end cap, and the swivel hose adapter. We then took the quick hose connector and screwed it in. We can pop the garden hose on and off as needed and quickly and also control the pressure.

You could cut the 5 foot handle piece down a foot or so, but we wanted to make it longer to reduce bending, so you can get roughly the entire undercarraige of the car all the way to the passenger side for example.

Hello,

I am a new member here. I recently purchased a 2015 Subaru WRX. I am not a subie fanboy by any means, I just felt that this was would be a fun car to drive as a daily driver, especially being AWD which helps in Chicago. For my budget this is my 60K + car and I have been reading like crazy on this forum to put together a list of proper products to keep my car in the best shape as possible. I already have had the entire car opti-coated as well as Xpel clear bra on select parts of the car. Obviously because I had the xpel put on, I will not be putting my car through normal carwashes unless its either a hand wash or a touchless wash system. I figured now would be the time to enter in the detailing world of maintaining my vehicle.
 

 
 

 
 
 
 

Welcome to the Adam's forum! Beautiful looking car, here's hoping the weather there changes for the better soon, because this winter in the Midwest hasn't been too kind so far.
