Cleaning Undercarriage Help
I went mudding in my '06 Hummer H3 a few months ago and I still have a lot of dirt on the undercarriage of my car. What is a safe way to clean under it? Can I spray water or will that damage anything. I want to be able to get the undercarriage really clean and nice, without ruining anything. Thanks.

If you're worried about spraying water up under there then you could get a bucket, brush and soap and scrub it clean.
All you really need is a garden hose with a good nozzle and a little time. Try not to spray too much into the axle seals, cv boots or any wiring connectors. While you're under there take a good look around for any damage and general condition. You're more apt to have damage from the trail than that water hose.

It works very well because of to higher water pressure they use, versus my garden hose
I get down on the ground and have at it
Yes, I end up with wet knees and a clean undercarriage

First, I get out my home made sprinkler setup with a "Y" fitting so I can run 2. Hook those up to the power washer and let them do their "business" for about 10 minutes them move them around 2-3 more times. Next I get out the car ramps (2 sets) then I pull the offending muddy HUMMER on them and get any of the spots I have not assulted with the sprinklers. Under hood I use Simple Green, tire brushes (long and short handles) and the garden hose. Rattle can on any rust spots.
Looks really good once it's all done. But in the winter I try to stay away from the muddy stuff because I won't do all those steps!

I guess too many of us yee-haw types have dropped mud all over the car washes so many places won't let you spray down muddy vehicles. I wonder if they are recycling water or if the drains just got plugged up with mud.

I may not have as much mud or clay as some other vehicles, maybe that is why he hasn't commented. But you are right, some wash bays I've seen have been a mess.
