Default Cleaning undercarriage

What are you guys using to clean underneath the car, and how are you doing it? There's only about 5 inches clearance, so I am not sure how to make sure things get cleaned thoroughly. I will say that the underneath does appear to be well protected, but I would still like to give it the occasional cleaning.

I even had a crazy thought to lay a few rows of sprayers into my driveway, so I can just pull the car up and hit the sprayers. Okay, that might be a bit excessive lol.

Without removing the plastic aero pans, you won't be cleaning much. From the frunk back to the engine, is all plastic aero pieces. then the engine has it's own aluminum pan.

Yeah I had a look over the weekend and pretty buttoned up. So no real worries about crap getting in there?

I have one of those wheeled, multi-nozzle attachments for my pressure washer that you simply roll under the car as long as the wand allows, but I think it may be too tall to be effective under this low car.

Here is another option, if you want a project: http://www.drbeasleys.com/blog/2012/...rriage-washer/

Finally, a pretty cheap solution: http://www.theunderwasher.com
