I replaced the pinion seal and now would like to clean underneath the car where it has splattered while fluid was leaking. What is a good cleaner for this? There is quite a bit to clean up. all along the torque arm, and the whole rear end need a good cleaning.
Simple Green is what I use, works fantastic.
Yup....I use Simple Green.....let it soak for a few minutes.....
The purple stuff, I can't think of the name of it, it works real well for cleaning underneath as well.

Is it spray on, hose off, or does it require scrubbing?Quote:

:eeek:
That's really nice and clean!
Do you have a lift or something, or you just don't drive it? :haha:
I have 71,000 miles on that car. I don't have a lift, just 2 jacks and 4 jack stands. I have put a ton of energy and wrench time into this car. I drive it but I am a perfectionist and keep it that way. I am in the middle of getting the rest of the underneath powdercoated and purtied up :happy:Quote:

I'm telling you man. I have to tip my hat to you. That's immaculate to say the least. It sure shows the time and effort you've put into it to keep it looking like that. Well done! :cheers:Quote:

So do you use a soft brush then rinse or pressure wash? That purple or castrol stuff?
Again, great job...
Thats the purple stuff I was referring to, the one that Jesusfan posted.Quote:

You could use a pressure washer as well I suppose, I am just stubborn and enjoy doing the manual labor. My best friend gets mad at me cuz he prefers using his air tools when we do heads or other in depth work and I just do it the old fashioned way. I am sure he will eventually win that battle and convert me over though :yup:
While removing my rear coils to add air bags, I cleaned my rear this weekend. I used the purple stuff above, its quite powerful and WILL burn your skin, I just sprayed a lil purple, let it sit, then used my pressure washer...pics below.
LEFT pic is before, RIGHT pic is after. This is just the start, it does not look any where near has nice has the gents above.......yet :dance:
I plan on doing some well-overdue undercarriage cleaning and degreeasing on my car. Hopefully in the near future
That said, I've just got a product from Adams called Invisible Undercarriage Spray. I've already tried it on my wheel wells. It has a fruity fragance (grapes) It worked well, I've been keeping a close eye on it after the car has gone thru two washes, and still holding up as the first day I sprayed it on
I'd like to use that to that on the whole undercarriage for protection. It has a low-gloss finish
Has anybody here by chance used this product, or anyting else you may be using for protection?

Adams makes good stuff, good to know, thanks. Let us know how it works, PLEASE.
:Patriot:
Yup, I meant Adams. I fat-fingered the A and the S :oQuote:

I just use diluted Simple Green and a power washer to rinse it off......

Nice, I used that cheap purple stuff straight, its pretty strong, let it sit for a few mins then power washed too, put the front up on rhinos, cleaned, then did the same to the rear...yours must still be wet in that last pic?
I have now gotten to where I will not drive my car if there is rain on the radar within 20 miles of my house....anal, yes.:lol:
yep, just finished spraying it off and decided to snap a pic. I have since installed a carbon fiber drive shaft, which is not pictured.Quote:

Dang! that's anal :lol:
It looks good though. If I had a lift available, I'd probably be doing the same! :haha:
Rhino Ramps Goose, a poor mans best freind! Although I got to tell you for $1500-1800.00 those 4 post drive on lifts are starting to look real good... :) Make it easy then...
Nothing like having your own lift in your garage. That is cool! :cool2:Quote:
