I use a lawn sprinkler

[DCRANER]

As we all don't, I assume, go thru automatic car washes, this is how I clean my undercarriage. Especially with a Vette that is low to the ground.

 

Wheel wells are easy to get to with the hose, but the rest of the bottom is difficult.

 

So, a few times a year I set the lawn sprinkler in front of the car, hose going under to the rear, I turn the sprinkler on and drag the hose / sprinkler from the front to the rear to clean the bottom.

 

I figure most new cars / trucks are well protected from water, so I use this method without too much concern.

 

Now, maybe Adam, if he thinks this is not such a crazy idea, could come up with something that would run cleaner thru first, then the water as a rinse.

I always wondered how I could do that. Great idea. Now, how do you get the soap in the sprinkler?

Great idea. I have jacked mine up and put it on jack stands to clean the underside, but your idea sounds good. What kind of lawn sprinkler?

There ya go. Maybe suck up some Adam's APC and blast the bottom.

 

I think any sprinkler works well, you would be surprised the junk that falls out from under. It mostly shows results for daily driven cars / trucks that accumulate all kinds of stuff.
