I shipped my car to Australia last year in a sealed container and just did the following. Jet washed the underside really thoroughly, scrubbing of any built up dirt in the arches and suspension areas. When it dried off I sprayed everywhere I could get at with WD40. The WD40 makes everything look clean and shiny plus offers some protection from damp. My main worry was Customs and especially quarantine. The car past by both with no additional costs for cleaning and inspections.
