What did you do to prep the underside of the car before applying the lizard skin?

Steam cleaned the underside of the car several times and between each go used a strong degreaser to try to break up the crud underneath. Then used about 6 bottles of Brake Clean all over the underside. Followed up by a rag soaked in laquer thinner until the rag came back clean. It was a pain in the butt, but lizard skin stuck when sprayed after that.

I used the Herculiner roll-on bed liner. It has held up well so far and hoses right off.
Please excuse the water spots and little bit of residual dirt.

Lizard skin is as well. I used both their formulas, the first coat was their sound deadener and the second the ceramic formula for heat control.

UPOL is easy to spray, need to clean the gun between each bottle. Looks great, make sure surface is prepped well, I had an area pull away from an inside curve on a car ( not the truck in the pics)that was not prepped well in one area, cleaned it, resprayed, can't tell where the problem was. Also tintable.
