So, I guess you're saving that your 'underside' needs attention . . . :D

I used to have the ultimate way to clean the undercarriage. 3500 psi Hot water pressure cleaner with simple green. Water came out at 194 degrees and cleaned everything. Made a 20 year old undercarriage look like new again.

Only way to really do it the right way is remove wheels. I do mine one at a time. I wax all suspension components, calipers, etc. I just removed my fuel tank covers and had them powder coated red. I wax anything that has a smooth finish. I learned on the forum about alumibrite and I use that on control arms and anything aluminum. I have a CE vert Callaway with the 5 spoke wheels. I painted wheel barrels to match and I occasionally touch those up in the process. Mine is lowered all the way on stock bolts with CF side skirts. No way is a wand going to work to get it as clean as I like. I can easily spend anywhere from 10 or 12 hours but I sleep better when it's done.

I'm guessing you hand wash and iron your Fruit-of-the Looms . . . . :D

:rofl: All I can say is... I don't think I want to go there! I forgot to mention that Simple Green is also not good for the composite springs.

I never did any of this stuff in my C5. I just drove the wheels off it. This one activated the O.C.D. In me though. I do a bunch of shows in this car and the judges are always looking for a way to separate the vettes as all of them are meticulously clean on the top. I only have 3600 miles on mine right now and have done this probably 5 times already. Got caught in rain last week so it's gonna be a very long day in the not to distant future. Not today tho. Time to grab beverages and barbecue. Happy 4th evry1.

You might have Corvette O.C.D. If you spend 3 or 4 hours using a razor blade to remove the rubber casting nubs from the side walls of both sides of your tires..........Hey, it makes the tire dressing go on smoother. Or at least that's how I justified it in my own mine:willy:

Probably could use toenail clippers too. And maybe diagonal cutters or end nippers.

Yup, but with a brand new razor blade, if you grab em individually and stretch em out, cuts it nice and close. Can't even see where they were at. Slightly over the top though..... Crappy part is no one but me knows I did it. Kinda like powder coated fuel tank covers. Mine is way low to see that kind of detail......

People wash the underside of their car? Who knew?

I drive mine.

When I show my '48 Lincoln Continental I did wipe the bottom with WD40 and a rag which worked very well and did impress the judges.

Sort of like the women who cant see their nips or the dudes who cant see..well, you know.

:smash:

underside
 

I have always cleaned the underside of all my vettes,but then agin I don't drive in the winter and very seldom in the rain so there is not much to clean:cheers:

Yes I have a kwik-Lift makes it a lot easier,I just go under on the creeper with some good country music on and scrub the baby up!!!Therapy for me when I was working.

I think you need a woman. She will take your mind off such nonsense.

Wait until the bottom of the car is covered with heavy brake pad and rotor dust, that has gotten wet from driving in the rain followed by the power steering pump seal blowing power steering fluid all over the driver's side bottom of the car. That is when you decide to leave well enough alone and forget about something that only a person you run over will see.

Oh Yea?.....well I powder coated the inside of my fuel tank but just the left side as no one will ever see the right side:rofl::rofl::flag:.......
(guess I better add on that I am entirely kidding and this isn't for real....as some may believe that I actually did this)....Just trying to keep up with rssguy:flag:

Sorry, I don't worry about it.

I use a pressure washer & just clean what I can get at, wheel wells etc. *:yesnod:*

Well...........didn't mean it quite that way.........lol...:leaving:
