The UnderWasher

If I didn`t have my undercar wand I`d DIY something like that using orifices/nozzles from somebody like American Waterbroom.
 
Check out the Ryobi Pressure Washer Broom for an inexpensive but effective undercarriage washer.

As I recall, that thing (UnderWasher) was horrendously overpriced.

It sure was compared to just DIYing it, but eh...I suppose it`s worth whatever somebody will pay for it. Almost *have to* say that given the things I`ve spent real $ on :o

My Undercar Wand was horribly pricey...hundreds back in the `80s...but whatever it cost was worth it *to me* since it`s never let me down in all that time (well, OK..I`ve had to F4 Tape the swivel joint as it started leaking back around `91 and wouldn`t stay properly fixed).
 
FYI. Figured they were long out out business. Reached out to them Friday. They are indeed still in business and shipping all items in their store. Ordered the standard one this morning.
 
PA Detailer- That`s kinda like the attachment I recently got for my pressure washer. Even a hose-powered one oughta be a lot better than nothing. Hope it works out for you!

Anxious to try it out and see how it does. Finally going to warm up this weekend in PA. Plan on doing a proper wash. Doubt it will make here by Friday (Ordered on Monday).
 
I don`t know if the price is lower now or my tolerance has just increased, but that seems very reasonably priced to me now, and they even have one with wheels, although you can`t really see what`s going on with that one from the pictures.

I ordered the wheels version to hopefully take some stress off lower back during use. I’ll let the forum know if it’s helpful/beneficial.
 
Just a question but has anyone tried a water broom/undercarriage washer?

Seems it be more effective hooking up to a PW and definitely looks more sturdy/reliable.

I`ve been using a hose-end (NOT pressure washer-powered) one for over 35 years with great results. One with multiple nozzles that hooks to a pressure washer oughta be even better (and better efficiency-wise than my single-nozzle one) but I`ve never looked into them as I`m under there cleaning with brushes/etc. anyhow.

Quick delivery. Mine came today.

Ah, looking forward to hearing how it works for you (and expecting a positive report :D ).

Is the UNDERWASHER the real deal? YOU BETCHA. Finally got to use this unique tool. I did not pre-soak the undercarriage with any APC first. I wanted to see how the underwasher did solo. Pressure was great. Using the tool was really easy. Moves back & forth with little effort. Shut off valve is nice. Just make sure to turn it off when you move it out from the vehicle, or you will get wet. The standard was perfect for me. More than enough reach under the truck. Me being me, i looked under the truck when i was done. I was amazed how clean this tool really did get the undercarriage after weeks of salt, dirt and snow. One of the best detailing tools i have gotten. If you don`t have a pressure washer, and are working with a standard hose, this is the way to go. BUY ONE!
 
Based on the pictures I found on their site it appears as though this is PVC piping with hole drilled in it ? Is that the case?

Can you give us some better pictures and info as far as the size of the piping and the holes/ sprayer sizes etc.

I am wondering if I could make myself a version.

Now you can use that as a prewash before getting under there with the brushes/etc. ;)

I am considering getting one, looks like it will fit the bill. Did you also buy the cleaner that they have on that site?

I think pro 4x used his own APC. I bought the wheelie version and the Salt-away kit. I love the tool and the Salt-away cleaner/dilution attachment. I don’t know that the wheels are necessary or helpful for undercarriage due to the natural action of swinging left and right to cover the full underside.

I rinsed with water, some gross dirt and salt mix dripped to the ground. Then Ivused the Salt-away diluted by the attachment and tons of disgusting filth came down. Therefore, as expected, some sort of cleaner is useful. Whether you want to invest in the Salt-away kit or just pre-spray some cleaner, I would recommend doing so. All I can vouch for is that the Salt-away worked great and the flood of dirty salt water that came off my undercarriage with zero scrubbing was impressive.
