Thread: Cleaning the underside of your car

This applies particularly to winter time when you may encounter lots of road salt.

If you have decent water pressure to your outside water hoses, and if you have one of those lawn watering devices that sprays in a fan like shape and arcs back and forth, you can take that and slide it under your car and turn it on and at a minimum get the road salt off. It does a decent job at cleaning dirt and such off too.

Ive wanted to find a way to inject a cleaner into the spray so that perhaps you could do a better job of cleaning and degreasing but havent worked on it all that much to see what could be done.

you could use one of those things that you attatch to your hose and put miracle grow in it. you can take off the shower attachment and screw on a sprinkler so that you ger the miracle grow through the sprinkler......just replace the miracle grow with something else.

Yeah, that was one of the ideas that I half heartedly considered, I just havent put forth the effort to see if it would work.

yeah thats a good idea, maybe someone could manufacture one (and pattent it) that does a real good job then that saves time and money of people going to car washes that do that...

whats a good polisher for cleaning your stainless exhaust? kind of curious to see what people say or suggest..

Use some Mothers Billet Polish. I used for my stainless exhaust and mufflers and polished it with a buffer. It was purdy

ill go to a high pressure car wash once a month.
and use the wand.
And as far as a polish for exhaust stuff. Never dull it is in a silver can and it is a fiber type of polish you take some off and just rub until shiny

The billet polish is great stuff. Like 13 bucks for a little jar but good stuff. Works great on aluminum.
