Hey guys, curious to see how you all clean the underside of your vehicle, is it okay to power wash it?

Thanks!

It shouldn't be an issue. Stay away from connectors. Be aware of wheRe your fluids run off
 
Usually let driving in the rain do most of it but otherwise a pressure washer or park over a sprinkler.

Hit up the local car wash.. Have one not to far away that has the DIY bay and unlimited time in there is like $6 so I usually bring a tarp and set it down to help keep me from sitting in water and lay down and pressure was away!!
 
I thought they were self-cleaning?... ;)

We have been considering a pressure washer for the rest of the rig though. Some of this New Mexico soil turns to concrete when it dries. I'd like to have a gas powered unit for the PSI but don't have room to store it. The electric versions are "ok" but don't have much pressure... anyone have any suggestions?

A tooth brush and a bucket of water :tearsofjoy:
 
Big puddles or creek crossings. That is how I do it. Not any salt to worry about here in Austin TX though so its not all that important.
