Well first up, you should have been using a cheap 240V drill and a large drill mounted wire brush.... 100x easier!

Unless your willing to make up a rotisserie then there's no easy or clean method. I would suggest a disposable dust suit, full face mask and wearing latex gloves, also makes for some entertainment when you walk out of the garage and the neighbours see you in that state... run at them screaming "Get back in your house NOW!!!!"... always fun!

I don't ever see myself bothering to detail the underside of the car. Seems to me like the absolute most pointless waste of time imaginable.

Ever had a classic car?


Dodge, I've done a bit of it, like Greg said. Electric drill, and wirebrush drill bit. Much easier than with the hands! Although I didn't think about getting a dust suit, and I know how you feel about the blocked nostrils, and stinging eyes!
