I recently purchased another car. Original paint, interior and drivetrain and I am going to try and leave it that way. That being said I would like  to clean up the underside of the car as best as I can. It is undercoated and has road dirt and grime, tar etc.. the usual stuff you would find, plus it was stored for several years so, cob webs spider sacks etc.

I have used degreasers, just good old soapy water, oven cleaner ( that may have been what killed the grass off the driveway). I also have a good power washer. Any recommendations that might do a better job and not be too harsh?
Thanks! :thinking:

Grab a garden sprayer & a gallon of Castrol Super Clean.... Have the pressure washer ready to go.... Soak the underside of the car with Super Clean, try to re-wet it keeping it wet for about ten minutes, then get after it with a pressure washer.. The worst areas may need a second application....
