Can anyone recommend a good sprayer wand for washing the car undercarriage? I don't have room for a pressure washer and I don't think I need the pressure anyway to wash the car. I'm really just looking for something that will create some decent pressure (like a regular hose nozzle) at the end of a 2 foot extension. I'd like to make sure I'm really bathing the bottom of the car and the suspension during the salty months.

Girot's used to have one, don't know if it's still current.

You could make one out of 3/4" PVC pipe and a few fittings for under $10.

I use a garden sprinkler (Home depot has it: Melnor 2,800 sq. ft. Oscillating Sprinkler) and move it one feet every two minutes by tugging on the hose pipe that connects to the sprinkler. I know it is kinda low tech but it works for me.

Since our cars have those plastic panels to give them a flat bottom. Have you thought about the salt that can accumulate between the panels and the floor pan?

Of course, I focus the spraying around the edges and wheel wells. When I spray (currently by jamming my arm under the car or in the wheel wells) I usually spray almost like roadspray- up and to the back for the most part. That gets some water above the plastic panels. You'll never be able to get all of the salt off the car but the intent is to get the majority of it off.

I like the idea of the sprinkler but that seems like it'd be most effective if you left it in place for a while. I'm not ready to do that in my busy city nieghborhood. I don't even leave the car outside for too long.

No luck at griots. If i don't find anything soon, I may just build one up from PVC.
