Smile cleaning the underside - products?

as the weather will be getting better soon

whats a good product to clean the underside of a car to get the sticky shit off it etc..... some sort of degreaser id imagine

got some of them drive on ramps so hopefully gets it high enough to get under it! unless there are other options?

No worries, didn't know how far back you wanted to go!? Want to give mine a good clean, but not brave enough to go back to a bare underside! G101 sounds interesting... I'll have a look on fleabay now.

On reading about it, I'm assuming its a de greaser, like Gunk etc? ie it removes shite but not underseal?

I do its alot better at shifting crap and does not leave a white residue like TFR and is not as harsh on components like bearing and stuff.
