Actually a very good idea. I would imagine it's not cheap? Cost effective if you have a couple or so cars on the drive and maybe (God forbid!) a caravan.
With the amount of s**t they throw on the roads at the slightest hint of a chilly night, it might be worth a punt. (Nice to have a car that's cleaner underneath than the neighbours is, on top!)

I just used a foam kneeling pad and use my karcher vario lance under. Or I will reverse the car onto a ramp and just kneel down. Guess it's a better idea but a £3 Mat or £15 ramp just seems a better on my budget. Make sure the sills and arches are clean. Build up with muck fairly quickly

I just go down the workshop put the car on the external ramp and the waterproofs on,off I go, get to all underneath and can be bit messy.
Only costs a box of cakes!
