Back in 1981, I rented a large forklift and got a mobile sand blasting
company
to go to a remote area, where the car was lifted-up and sand blasted in one
quick-neat (it was out in the open) operation.
While it was still elevated, I applied rattle-can zinc chromate primer,
followed
by rattle can undercoating to the frame rails and/or floor pan---kept the
undercoating off of the frame rails, which were finish-painted in gloss
black.
simple/quick/neat(mask-off the trannie-vents)/effective
In the future-past, restoration of the undercarriage, for a car show,
involved a steam cleaning
of the undercarriage followed by a re-application of black paint to it,
and to the frame rails
and a polishing/touch-up to the exhaust system, and its bracketry.

HELLO GROUP
The undercarriage of my newest acquisition has the most
original,,,solid,,rust and dent free undercarriage I have ever seen.
The orig FACTORY UNDERCOAT and 2 very conscious previous owners have
'done her well'
MY PROBLEM--The undercoat is literally coated with dirt and crud that
only a wire brush can remove.
A sponge and detergent do basically nothing!!!
With all of the hidden spaces,,,tight spaces etc etc,, a wire brush
and wheel would take years!!
Has anyone ever used a water jet to remove such crud from an
undercarriage?????????
ie: does it work?
Is it mild enough NOT to remove the undercoat??
I hate introducing water to anywhere on her belly BUT I do not see any
other way,,,other than a body off resto.
