Just wondering if any of you knew a place that could clean underneath my car?

Use some Autoglym Clean Machine or similar and have a good squirt of the underside then have a go at it with an old sponge/brush.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Cleaning underneath can be tricky... i have to wait until its rained, then find a clean puddle sitting on tarmac not mud.
boot it through the puddle about 68mph usually provides the best result
as to the exhaust Autosol will get as good as its going to get. with some very fine wire wool if totally shot to pieces in the first place.
Haha would love to go back in time and tell all my ex girlfriends to f%#k off lol but seriously tho im sure there is a company out there that does? have googled it but nothing is coming up..
I think it might be a bit of an 80/20 situation, i.e. a whole load of extra effort for little gain. Just get the wheelarches, insides of the wheels, hubs, brake calipers etc nice and shiny. Use some Autoglym Clean Machine or similar and have a good squirt of the underside then have a go at it with an old sponge/brush. But really, as long as it looks perfect when you're kneeling down (worshipping!) next to it, its good enough in my experience (and won me my class in a club national concours a few years ago!).
Beyond that, my worry with spending loads of effort on the underside is that you'll not want to use it in anything other than perfect conditions which is a shame in the superlative all-weather supercar... in fact it might even remove some of the corrosion-proofing which is not a good thing...
Can't you just spray with a pressure washer lance?
If it was a rust-bucket air-cooled model you could Waxoil it every other year to no effect.
"Once you are all dust, the 996 will rein supreme".
MUAHAHAHAHA!
:evil:
Thanks for the advice everyone
I have cleaned the insides of the wheels, calipers, wheel arches, exhaust tips already and the car is absolutely spotless except for the underneath.. if I can get that done somehow I think it will be ready for some competitions hopefully! I like the new "out of the box" feeling and want to get my car up to that standard.
May consider getting it wax-oiled.
