There was a very interesting article in one of the British classic car magazines about six months ago on this type of cleaning. It looked very promising due to the lack of greasy leftovers. Let me see if I can find it...

People who care about the dirt on the underside of their car need to get a life.

I lasted until 1:24. Unless that video includes a dozen, one of a kind, jewel-like vdo clocks, someone has a long way to go.

I tend to agree. As long as the bottom of my car is not covered in oil, I don't really care if its dirty.

People who comment on things that they don't care about need to get a life. Personally anything that is mechanical that I own I like to keep clean.

hmm, I like the idea, but I do not like the fact that he was blasting away with the open exhaust ports - one or more of them is guaranteed to be open, and then crap will get blown into the piston chamber. That is a no-no for me.

I like the bottom of the car to be clean because 1)It makes it easier to work on 2) You can spot the source of oil leaks easier 3)A clean bolt (especially allen) is less likely to strip if its clean.

Cheers,

Mike

Found this website as well. Again, results are impressive.

www.carblast.de

If you go to the top bar and select "Mediathek" then scroll to the bottom you will see another 993.
