Undercarriage cleaning

[2Tall]

What have you guys found to work the best clean the undercarriage? I am dreading spending the weekend under the van with a wire wheel,any tips and tricks? Keeping in mind I don't have plans to blast the underside or a way to roll it on its side. It is going to have to be good old elbow grease.

I have heard a hot air gun and a scraper is pretty good, obviously be carefully not to cook the paint underneath the under seal.

If you can get access to 1 use a commercial steam cleaner. Thats how I did my BMW.

If its from a dry state where it's been baked one a plastic scraper will get it off really well or a metal scrapper but that will make scratches too but will chip away nicely the hot air gun it will make a right sticking mess an take loads to clean up.

What you doin cleaning it up then coating it with something new or you painting it?

If you have the room roller it because you can do a better job in a fraction of the time
