How safe or what the possibility of washing the underside of the car using a pressure washer??? any tips advice...don't do it etc etc, not seen much about this, id like to clean the underneath up.

I washed mine throughly with a good degreaser/TFR (Traffic Film Remover) in below. Jacked the car up and put it on axle stands good and high so you can get in below it.

Make sure and let the car dry out fully, either leave it out in good dry weather or in a heated shed, and blow out all the nooks and crannies with an airline if possible, as you dont want any trapped water/moisture under the car before you waxoyl it as this will make the car rust faster!!

I then fully waxoyled the car in below using a schutz gun on a a compressor and used around 2 and 1/2 gallons of the stuff on it
Just make sure if u have any shiney bits like a stainless exhaust or fancy brake pipes etc under the car that you mask them off, cos the waxoil is a bugger to get off anything, and its very messy!!

If you cant get a compressor and schutz gun you can use one of these applicator guns with the Waxoyl tins. You can get these in Halfords or here on ebay:

Sealey Shutz Waxoyl Wax Oil Cavity Wax Stonechip Gun on eBay, also, Paint Body Shop Supplies, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 21-Apr-08 13:17:05 BST)

Hope that helps you!!
