  • Super underside all over car wash

    My car was in this am to get a small dent (stupid falling snowboard) repaired and I had a look under the car with the wheel liner off and it was pretty clear driving a car in the winter here is rough; there are rocks and crap everywhere. This may be a few months off but where can a guy take his ride to have the underside and nooks and crannies de-crapped when the roads are finally better?

    short of pulling things like bellypans off, you actually cant clean a lot of things.

    i have a washbay in my garage and what i do is run the hot water around the inside of the fender, aimed upwards. This sprays water all over the suspension components and cleans that area out.

      The car wash in Douglasdale had a free under car wash that would spray you as you went in to the building, was a big fan of that but has been years since I have been to that car wash now.

                  I was actually wondering about something like this. Is there such a thing as underside detailing or something?

                    I have heard of guys going into wand washes late at night with ramps. Drive up and go nuts with the wand getting as much as you can. There is a pressure washer attatchment that goes under vehicles and cleans pretty good. Although its abot $500 if I remember right and won't work the greatest with many store purchased pressure washers. Don't know what the limitations are for height either, so can't say how lowered cars would work.

                    Either way, many car washes don't want the stuff under your car because it clogs up their filters quicker.

                      I go to a car wash that has high pressure jets that you drive over when you enter the wash bay. I drive over nice and slow and when I look underneath it's nice and shiny.
