Just a simple question but I cant find a definative answer anywhere so.....

Can I jetwash the underside of my car or will I risk damaging/dislodging something?

Yes you can

Just bear in mind that a jet wash can be very powerful if you use it too close to the paintwork. Use a little common sense and you'll be fine.

I've seen the damage they can do even to non-Honda paint. Get too close to a stone chip and the water jet can get behind the paint and strip the surrounding area.

Ooh never thought of stone chips. Ive always been careful pressure washing, kept it at an angle to the paintwork and not got too close etc. I will be even more cautious now thanks.

I might even switch back to using a hosepipe

If you spray it with APC first and leave for a few minutes it will clean much better

APC being all purpose cleaner??
any recommendations

I used to jet wash my landrover defender after offroading but it had like 2 inch of mud on it, on my Honda i do not feel the need of it except the wheels and under the car is all covered with plastic. just if you want to clean it, spray some degreaser and then rinse it off it will be enough.

I always use a jetwash when cleaning my car...Dont use degreaser on your body work as it will strip off sealers and waxes
