How do you guys clean and prep the bottom of your car for new paint? Whats the best way to go about cleaning all the crap off and stripping the paint?

Aircraft stripper and carb clean is what I used took it to bare metal in 20like minutes

Wire wheels, DA sander, grinder, dremel, hand wire brushes, brake cleaner, engine degreaser, carb cleaner, lots of rags, small hand held sand blaster, putty knife... and tons of elbow grease.
Then 2 coats of Chassis saver paint, 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear.

If you're willing, determined and a little insane... the underside of your car can go from THIS:
