Abstract

A portable automobile undercarriage washing/cleaning device consisting of an inverted bowl-like body portion featuring a water spray nozzle on the top face and a connection for a rigid, non-flexible water pipe on the side of the body, the water pipe ending in a water control valve, and casters underneath of the body and attached to the body, which when all of the components are connected together and secured to a standard garden-type hose, results in a pressurized water spray pattern capable of being delivered to the undercarriage of an automobile, or other wheeled vehicle, the pressurized water spray being used to remove accumulated mud or road salt from the undercarriage of the vehicle, which was deposited on the undercarriage of the vehicle under normal driving conditions on debris-ladened readways and effecting the rapid removal of the debris from the undercarriage and its related structural members.
