do you keep the underside immaculate - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Once a month I completely disassemble my car. Every nut and bolt, every wire harness, every body panel. I clean everything with denatured alcohol and purified water. I have it down to about 100 hours start to finish.

You should just do this

Honestly it's way too much work to even bother...

That dedication there that I don't have.

My truck was lifted so all I had to do was slide myself under there and it was easy peasy getting to all the bits and pieces underneath. However, it was my daily driver not some garage queen sitting out half the year in storage like the guys here who live in the rust belt.

The Camaro is a different story though. I'm definitely going to have to use the Rhino ramps I have to access the chassis on that.

If I could have safe and easy access to the underside, I would definitely clean it from time to time.

Very impressive, under scrubbers. I thought I was anal! I've found that, Energy X Age = a larger f*@k-it factor. There was a time if I had a pit I might have gone there. I'm doing well just to get in and out of the SOB!

I Bucket wash mine once or twice a year, it has seen rain a few times in 5 years.
Our Boxer usually helps out, lol.

L&M CAMARO 6 · 11-29-2015, 06:21 PM

Drew good job. And I thought that I was the only one in the world. Mine has only seen rain once. I do not use the 2 bucket method I don't water wash. Mine gets water less wash often. And the underside gets wiped down and a wax on a regular bases.
And this is not a camaro, look forward to taking delivery of the Camaro6 in the spring.
Let the fun begin.

No wander they call it Stokolm Syndrome , gee , it's like the car bought you
Now , after staying with your kidnapper for a certain amount of time , one start thinking and befriended the kidnappers , that may be just a move to self protect oneself in a case like that
Is anyone seeing the similarities on this two different situations ?!

He's four bolts on each JAX , must have a plate bolted to the concrete with four welded nuts to it , so he can just move the Jax into position right the bolts from the jax into the plate and it's ready
