Default How to best clean & wash under the car??

Hey,

I had my car up on a hoist today and noticed the dirt that has accumulated under there. Is there a good way to attack that and remove it, besides the slow roll over a auto-wash under-carriage spray down?

I also suffer from having to traverse a dirt/rock road to get to the main road so I can only take the Monte out when the ground is dry or mostly dry.

What's the thoughts of the detailing pro's out there who visit this board? any custom equipment available?

Im sure you could find some bussiness that could make some kind of plastic plate to fit under the car and have some pathways and what not for the exhaust so it doesnt melt anything. I mean it souldnt be to difficult cause if there was some place you could find to do this, im sure they could make some pins and such that are longer like the ones that hold the side shirts and bumpers to the car.
This might be a stupid idea, but its worth a "thinkin over" if you really have a bad problem with the gravel roads. I know I refuse to drive down dirt/gravel roads so LOL I set my gps so I done have to. There was a time I had a 250 mile trip that could have taken around 175 miles if I took some gravel roads.

yeah no gravel roads for me either, as for under the car i find washing it is endless battle. Think about it when your done it will be dirty again a mile down the road. Sure i do my mufflers but thats it for me.
