WHats the best way to clean the underside of my jeep? I don't have a pressure washer. But I just want the mud off, I was gonna just park it on the curb at an incline, and use purple power and a hose

Well i do do that. Just that will cost me oodles of money i'd rather not use, and considering how much i have under there in mud, id spend a hour or two there.

I have a cheapo electric plug in pressure washer. Prob costs about $50 and it's great for cleaning mud off, hand washing on nice summer days, cleaning the dirtbike. Worth the investment imo

Find a car wash similar to Carpool in your area. They have sprayers in the automated part that will do the bottom.

Its shouldn't take you an hour at a car wash with their pressured spray. I bet it would only take about 3 - 5 bucks to get a good spray out.

Just put a lawn sprinkler under it. The kind that sweeps back and forth in a big arch. It will take a while but you can just set it up and walk away.
