Nice trick! 👍

Also, if you have a greasy or oily chassis, go rent a Hotsy. 😉

Cheers

So I didn't rent a Hotsy, but I did manage to run a hose from the laundry room hot water line to the pressure washer, and wow what a difference! Hot water is the way!

I'm using a foam cannon loaded with a mix of Dawn, purple power, and car soap, and the hot water suds being blown into every corner and crevice really paid off.

Getting in there and agitating everything with a long handled brush also goes a long way.

The hot water cuts through crud and grease like a laser beam. I can actually tell what shape my knuckles and birfs are now.

I went ahead and scrubbed all the stuff I've taken off so far too.

I think I'm going to pay to have the radiator professionally cleaned and refinished.
 
Little known fact, farmers used spent oil for fertilizer back in the day.... they used it to spray gravel roads to keep dust from flying and collecting on the leaves of crops causing sun damage. Then they realized that all the plants by the road were super healthy. For a long time, up until synthetic additives were introduced, it was common for people to use oil as a fertilizer.
Ha, im just reading this. One of oilfield clients had a blowout on their tank farm, line broke, atomized oil into the air. We were on a ranch with crops, the ranchers house was close by and blowout covered half his field and raining down drops of oil. our client that asked us to clean up the mess had us replace as much as we could, repaint the house and a few car details. client had to spend a lot of money. The next season the rancher asked if we'd blow another line because that blowout helped his crop. Best he ever had! ha
 
Eastwoods! I'm about halfway done with my underside, with frame and cleaning up the lines. Eastwoods best quality is the coverage, good spray head and no runs. Here's a pic of recent frame coverage and other stuff. I need a hydro blaster as well. I found a boiler pressure washer and next to cut the rubber s*** off last guy chose to use, that was not taped off and having to strip the frame it's so bad. My undercoat has to come off
