Undercarriage washing

[Tucson 302]

Sorry really dumb question...given that commercial carwashing is out, how does everyone wash the undercarriage of your boss?

i was planning on hosing it down with a garden hose.
i guess you could drive on ramps for more clearance.

The touch-free wash at my local Shell station has an undercarriage wash option, that has jets that spray up when you are driving your vehicle into the wash bay. It's kinda cool to do this with the '13 model as the water vapor 'snorts' out of the hood vents because the water is under some decent pressure.

So I'm assuming the touchless wash system didn't hurt the stripes?

 

[ace72ace]

Correct. I would probably wait a few months for the stripes to 'set' and also maybe a coat of wax on top before the touchless wash. Have run mine through the touchless twice, everything looks good.

Oh, I had been thinking this was a NSFW thread.

I'm incredibly lazy and have been through touchless car washes dozens of times with no ill effects.

Incredibly lazy or devoting way too much time on blogging, posting, and planning your next mod/trip/track event with the Boss? : ;D

Looking at the video from Big Red One, an idea struck. Just drag slowly (front to rear or other way) a garden sprinkler (rotating type). That should work.

Don't remember where I got it, but I have an extendable spray wand that sprays a fan shape.
Plan to use it on all of my vehicles when it warms up.
My Boss is a fair-weather driver, so it stays pretty clean. But a belly water spray can't hurt anything.

If you have a pressure washer I would get one of these bad boys.
