Default Underbody steam cleaning?

Anywhere in the NY/NJ/CT area offer this?
I figured that it would be a good idea to put a car up on a lift after the winter and get rid of all salt, sand, grime from the underbody and especially in the plastic and metal 'trays' under.
Steam, brushes, and hot water should do the trick.

Default Can't you just DIY at a DIY carwash?

You should be able to reach most of chassis merely by bending down and aiming the wand (oh go ahead and have fun with that).

Be careful not to melt the wax that Audi injects into the semi-hidden cavities.
