gokushamax Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Without using a lift, do you have a good way of cleaning your undercarriage? I'm thinking of road salts, specifically. Thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymrat7953 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I set up a lawn sprinkler in my driveway and drive back n' forth over it; then using the long handle fender brush catch what I can. Then I apply Super VRT on everything I can reach and under carriage spray on what I can't reach. My wife thinks that I'm crazy but I'm happy.... alls good.

chas Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have a Jeep so I can slide right under, but when I had my Mazda3 I would use ramps sometimes. You can get them for like $50 at Advance Auto. Won't give you a ton of room but gives you good enough access for cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osok Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I do the touchless car wash. The first 30 seconds pulling into the bay has the undercarriage spray so I go real slow to try to knock down what I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveVY Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Great timing on this thread! This past weekend I started cleaning the undercarriage on the 4Runner and loved the difference in how it looked. But the Vette is not as easy to roll under to clean!

txredgt Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My car is extremely low so I have to roll my car onto 2x4 blocks and that raises it slightly. After that I just throw a car jack under it and go to town. I have chassis stiffening which makes it much easier to jack the car up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
