Get an automotive creeper and a package of a dozen cotton cloths. Next, get
some nitrile gloves to protect your skin. After that, you need a solvent.
I'd recommend either mineral spirits, which is smelly, but gentile on paint,
or one of the solvents auto body shops use as a final wipe-down prior to
painting an auto. You can usually find these solvents at a good auto paint
store. A quart of the stuff lasts a long time...


Then, put on the gloves, dampen a cloth in your chosen solvent, climb on the
creeper, and have at it. Shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes. Oh, and
wear safety glasses. If the solvent doesn't drip into your eye, you're sure
to poke an eye out with an antenna or something.


This is similar what I do, except I often use a large terry cloth towel
that I'm willing to throw out. I wipe down large sections using paper
towels and mineral spirits, then wipe if off with the terry cloth towel.
The entire belly takes about 15 minutes.
