Lets talk what products work best. What do you guys use? I am specifically looking for something for my truck so it will be a little higher than a car. I am undercoated but live in salt city during the winter (western ny). What about solutions to put in the device? Thanks

If you are undercoated, I wouldn't recommend using high pressure or strong cleaners, they may/will remove your undercoating. Perhaps something like a foam gun with carwash soap and a garden hose rinse.

I did some undercarriage cleaning on this detail.

Hopefully it will provide some help.

You could also easily swap the citrus pre-wash for a decent APC.

I live just outside of Pittsburgh and lay year I got the Karcher K5.740 pressure washer and the Karcher Chassis Washer. I don't know how I lived without this tool! It adjusts in height low enough to slide under a Lexus IS250C car, and adjusts high enough to be too high for my lifted Wrangler and Hummer. It ratchets up and down manually in about .5" increments. It's an amazing tool for getting the salt and winter chemicals from the under carriage. I can't say enough about how great this is and how it has exceeded my expectations.
