My S gets a good body clean every week, but I realise that I'm missing out cleaning the crap off the underbelly, and want to ensure my chassis is looked after.

Problem is my garage is away from the house, without water or power, so it's a manual only process unless some ingenious device is available.

Any good recommendations on the best way to do this, and the particular areas to pay attention to?

This is covered in the s bible and the smaple chapter on my website describes the chassis and its weak spots.

Download it and you will see where you need to be careful etc.

Be careful under there tripps! I was warned against an underneath steam-clean on a TVR - something to do with how the glass fibre panels are joined. The joints are not designed against steam-clean pressure. Jet-wash may be OK if you can get it up in the air.

This is not relevant to the thread but would be grateful for an answer. How in the BH do I order your bible. The form on your website will not let itself be filled in. The link to tvrcc.com does not list your book under regalia and finally Amazon are not listing it yet

Clint - by far the easiest is just phone Carol at TVRCC (01952-770635) and order with your credit card. Got mine within first week of publication.
