Removing dried carcass bits from the underbody
Friday before Christmas I ran over a deer carcass, busted up my intercooler and drove home with it's hind quarter snagged on a exhaust hanger. I've since removed the deer parts but there's lots of blood, fatty tissue and skin addorning the bottom side of my car.
Since I have the front-end up on jacks for the repair work I am doing I want to clean under the car. I haven't even attempted to start yet but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for taking this stuff off?
This is the oil pan but the rest of it looks similiar:

The same thing happened to me. I took it to one of those do-it-yourself coin operated car washes and pressure washed it over and over and over again. The hot water combined with soap really did an excellent job cleaning everything off. I still smelled a little cooking meat for a week or so afterwards, but it was significantly less than before I cleaned it. Once your car is fixed enough to drive, it might be something to consider. The most difficult part for me to clean was above the gas tank... a bunch of deer parts got crammed up there and froze in place.

Maybe I'll waiting until it's running well enough again to take it to an self service wash.
My girlfriend suggested a peroxide and water mix in a spray bottle. I can see that better for sterilizing it after I get all the meat and dried gravy off first though.

I cleaned everything up. I used Tuff Stuff to clean the bulk of the chunky parts up with a sponge. Then I hit it with a water-hydrogen peroxide mix to get the gravy parts up. In the end it came out really good.
