Default How to clean the underbody of my car?

Since the snow is melting the slush, sand, and salt are everywhere on the roads. I can clean the body of my car fine but how do I go after the underbody? The only thing I can think of is either 1.) going to those expensive car washes that have hoses on the button 2.) getting my car lifted up by a jack and then using a hose. Any other ideas?

Usually you have the little drive through car wash next to a gas station that have the underbody cleaning as you roll in.

I'm always scared of those wheel rollers you drive on to go through will scratch up my rims, but maybe I'll give that a go and see if it works. I have to find some way to clean the underbody.

That's the easiest and most inexpensive way I can think of!

Put the car in the air witha jack and then break out the pressure washer and have at it. Just dont forgott to drain the washer and put it back inside. I left it out overnight last year and she froze soild, needless to say my dad was super pissed for 3 days.
