Lots of degreaser and a garden hose? Prepare to get wet! [Image: biggrin.gif]

I'm sure you could if you were really careful about not hitting plastic objects/connectors/sensors/wiring and such.. I'd personally just hit it with the garden hose and lots of degreaser..

carb cleaner. and may i recommend not doing it anywhere that grease stains dont want to be seen like the driveway as it will leave a mess. head to the car wash and do it there. even use there hose

Just pick up one end of the car with a loader or something like that. then you would have a clean shot at the underneath. lol [Image: biggrin.gif]

Carb cleaner removes paint and you might want to leave that on. Simple Greenworks on lots of stuff.

I take my car jack to the car wash, jack it up as high as she'll go, soak with engine degreaser, let stand while washing "shiny side", then finish off bottom with high-pressure rinse. Don't let that motor get too hot before you hit it with the water. I'm 30 secs from a carwash, so no big deal here. [Image: biggrin.gif]
