Often the response is "Wait, you did what? Really". Then while taking 2 steps back they say "So, why would you do THAT?"
Looks good!!!

A lift and hot water power washer = No Fair! The great thing about the undercarriage being clean is that it seems to stay that way. I did mine a year ago and it still looks like I just did it.

I fired up the monster and began blasting! Even though the heat helps, Xenit is still vital. I went to Harbour Freight and purschased some small wire brushes (steel and brass). I spray the Xenit, let it sit approximately 10 minutes, scrub, and let it sit again. After waiting 5-10 minutes more I do the "Blasting". I spray at 800-900 psi but I run the heat at 200 degrees. I do this process approximately 4-5 times. Steel wool will polish items up real nice
There is the secret.

I wish I could say I have spend hours under the car. I had the idea to use a hot water pressure washer after doing the engine and rear suspension. I was on hour 5-6 and decided there must be something easier. I just happened to have a 24 horsepower 190,000 BTU diesel fired pressure washer in my garage I fired up the monster and began blasting!

Looking good, keep up the good work, and may your garage always smell of oranges.

If I did this, my wife would KILL ME TILL I'M DEAD.
Especially since I used the good old BAD NECK excuse to put off restoring our fancy plaster ceilings in our house.
Love the look but the jury is out about it being worth the effort.

Aussie Alan. Jury returned its verdict while you were out. Unanimous that it is awesome. Tell your wife if Xenit had a plaster product you'd be good to go.
