most effective & easiest way to wash undercarriage?
the 4 suspension areas and the wheel wells, i can somewhat clean them with a brush & running water. but how do i get all the sand & crap off the undercarriage?? do drive-through car-washes effectively clean the undercarriage?

Steam cleaner works wonders. Sometimes costco has cheap electric units.

Undercar Clean-up
Pressure wash for a real cleaning, Karcher makes a bent wand/nozzle for this.
For maintenance purposes put your lawn sprinkler under it for a few minutes and relocate it 3-4 times. This helps to remove some salt. When washing the fenderwells put some time into the wheel arch lip front and rear, we try to wash that area every time. |
The only effective way I've found was to lift up the car on all four jackstands, remove the tires and scrub away!
I usually find a way to do other servicing if I have to remove wheels (shocks, brakes, etc.). With the wheels off, it's a good time to remove the brake dust and crap from the inner wheel rims. This weekend I was painting calipers on the ML, so I finished off the job with an undercarriage scrubdown! |
