Re: What to use to clean under car
i understand , i thought my car was clean also . i'm fortunate i have an outside lift . the first car pressure washed underneath cleaned dirt/crud from places we never knew were places . i know not everybody can do this . it's a wet & dirty job but worth it . good luck .

I here WD40 is good,it's supposed to remove a lot of surface rust on the springs,cross members,etc,etc.I haven't tried it, but I'm considering it.

Re: What to use to clean under car
imo the oil all over the bottom helps prevent rust.

Re: What to use to clean under car
I put on a respirator and used liberal amounts of wax and grease remover on several rags. I scrubbed everything underneath. I also removed the tin heat shields, cleaned them up and clear coated. My exhaust is already down in preparation for a 406 SBC install. I got one of those little 3 inch rollers, a gallon of chassis saver, some old paint brushes, and went to town after some light wire brushing (very little rust). After that, I used a can of rubberized undercoating to hit all the little nooks and crannies the paint brush and roller couldn't reach. I also used a can of rubberized undercoating on the wheel wells. I used a piece of cardboard to cover the pinch of the wheel well as I sprayed. It's safe to say, my 91 RS will not be rusting "anywhere" underneath any time soon. I'll post some pictures sometime.

Re: What to use to clean under car
Also for suspension and real oily, caked on dirty spots, scrape most of the material off using a putty knife before spraying it down with degreaser. I put my car up on 6-ton jack stands in my driveway. Put on an old pair of swimming trunks, old t-shirt, scraped off the heavy material, sprayed down the under carriage, brushed it then used my pressure washer to rinse it off. The water sure kept me cool since I did this during August before the T/A Nats.
