It’s really not that bad to do since the underneath components are covered with a beeswax type substance and then covered with dirt and dust. The GooGone removes the beeswax which could be easily rinsed of with a water hose. This would have to be repeated if you don’t want to scrub with soap and water.

Chris - that looks great! I'm going to do that now that it is getting nicer outside. Looks like a good Saturday project. I've been working on the exhaust pipes for a while now but the rest of the underside should not be neglected.

After first coating you need to let it sit for a couple hours to give the GooGone a chance to start work.

The before pics had the oil pan cleaned with GooGone and the Exhaust was cleaned. I didn't have pics be for I did anything.
