Whatever you do, don=E2=80=99t use a pressure washer in the garage! I hun=
g tarps and covered everything with plastic sheets, and still had to deal w=
ith pretty much everything in the garage being wet. I was disappointed i=
n the results too =E2=80=93 I suppose it did remove a lot of dust and soil =
type dirt, but anything greasy would need a detergent or heat to get rid of=
it. I used a fairly powerful home-type pressure washer =E2=80=93 about 3=
000 psi and 3gpm. I hoped that a lot of the looser underseal would come o=
ff, but only the stuff I could peel off by hand was moved. =20
I did read good things about using dry ice as blast media, but it appears t=
o need a special blaster, and I couldn=E2=80=99t even find one for rent in =
Houston. From what I saw, it would remove dirt only, or turn up to higher =
pressure and it would remove underseal. The dry ice would then melt and l=
eave the underside of the car clean and dry with only the removed dirt/unde=
rseal on the ground. I suspect this would get very expensive unless you h=
ad a source of cheap dry ice.

We once rented and used a commercial duty heated pressure washer to clean a=
semi truck, tractor chassis and the big diesel engine. It removed everyth=

water-soluble degreaser, under pressure, really did the job. Then we hosed =
it down with fresh water to remove any degreaser residue, blew out the exce=

In my experience any media that will not strip paint, ie, crushed walnut sh=
ells, plastic bead blasting, etc. will simply bounce off of grease and/or o=
ld undercoating which is ineffective and messy. Even aggressive stuff like=
Black Diamond will have a tendency to do the same, and will certainly eat =
paint when it gets through. If your frame is immovable and you prefer to s=
tay in the garage, Kano Laboratories makes a superior degreaser that can be=
purchased by the gallon. These are the same folks that make AeroKroil, th=
e best penetrant I've found, ever. Have your tarp or drip pans ready and b=
rush away. I've used old wooden paint paddles and plastic bondo spreaders =
for removal. It takes time, but may fit your application.
