Hey guys,

For you serious car enthusiasts, I know some of you may have cleaned up the undercarriage of a car before. Mine just looks all.. brownish. I've seen people paint over everything and stuff before, but I really wanna have my car clean all around. But I wouldn't know where to start underneath?

Anyone ever done this before?

Thanks in advance!

LMAO!
Funny thing is... I have a step brother.
AND HE HAS A TOOTHBRUSH

RedWS6, what the hell did you use to clean that car! It looks brand freakin' new underneath! Did you just use degreaser and a scrub brush or something?! What supplies should I use.. Damn i hope I can get my car that clean.

Guessing you had it on jackstands and everything.

Also is there anything I should look out for if i'm cleaning under there?
And damn how long did that take you, i'm amazed

I cant believe you have NO rust under it? I guess thats what I get for previous owner driving it in snow.

Yep put the car on jackstands and got under and started cleaning. Even my jackstands were cleaned I actually used an old toothbrush in a few areas but for the most part I just used a bucket of soap & water with a wash mitt. I did use some simple green in a few areas but I diluted it with some water. The hardest part was around the fuel lines, suspension parts & the small areas around the engine. Spent about 8 hours and I still wasn't happy.

Somebody around here has a '02 Anniversary SS that you could literally eat off the bottom. Maybe it's Brian I'm thinking of......

I got my last car like that. But, I just don't see the point in it.
I washed it all down, let it dry. Painted the darker areas then clear coated every thing.


If you drive it a few times, it will still look like crap.

Yet, I did my wheel wells and wheel insides. My wheel wells look spotless and so do the insides of my wheels.

I remember the black SS. It was awesome. Fully polished exhaust and everything was spotless. He use to show it but then one day decided to daily drive the car... He even took down the pictures of the car from his car domain page. I wish I would have saved them

Some of us still believe in OCD

Definitely lots of simple green (diluted) and hard work. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
