RE: Deep Cleaning Your Undercarriage
My undercarriage is pretty dirty.
The exhaust/muffler had a lot of black dirt/grease on it.
The other pipes and stuff are either a bright orange that looks like mud but it isn't.
Then the rest and most of the undercarriage had a rusty brown/red on it.
Like I feel the only way to REALLY clean it all is to sand off the corroded/rusted top.
I'll try just degreaser first. If I see no change I'll try the oven clean. If that doesn't work I'll prob give up.

RE: Deep Cleaning Your Undercarriage
I have no idea lol
Some people say use POR-15.
Some people say use a rust converter.
Some people say use rubberized undercoating.
Some people say use a rust encapsulator.
Then some people say use Simple Green.
Then other people say use Purple Power.
Then even more people say use oven cleaner.
Then some dude say use this that.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH LOL

RE: Deep Cleaning Your Undercarriage
Depending on how oily the under carriage is, buy one or two cans of Gunks, Gel degreaser, spray all the really bad spots and after 15 minutes, power scrub the crap out of your under carriage. When done below, if you have a D2, clean you engine also, only using the Gunk on oily spots and not near any electrical. D2's love the water, D1's with the location of their ECU choke up and die.

RE: Deep Cleaning Your Undercarriage
Does anyone know what those orange stains on the exhaust pipes are?
On my exhaust pipes I they are 100% orange.
I'm pretty sure it's not mud and degreaser didn't do anything

Some mud will never go away, its gets in the cracks and just sits there no matter how hard you try to get it out. I used to have side steps and somehow mud would NEVER go away on them, even if they "looked" clean. When I took them off, I saw where it was coming from... hiding in impossible to reach cracks. On bumpers, the only advice is to try and spray a powerwasher in the cracks the best you can and just hold it there. I think its impossible to get some mud to go away, but you never know.
