I need to get some feelings out....I live in Minnesota, and have tons of salt on the underside of my car. Since i have no way of getting 100% of if off the car, i need to go to a car wash with a under wash. wish me luck!!!

Why don't you buy one of those Karcher things and wash it yourself?

So then quit bellyaching. Search the net for Underwasher, that's cheaper. Also Griot's used to sell an angled wand with a built-in spray handle.

No, you don't have to go a swirl-o-matic. You can go to a brushless wash, you can go to a self-service car wash. There is no good reason to instill swirls on your car. Don't do it!

Try a touchless with undercarriage wash

I'm in Western NY & I feel your pain regarding salt encrusted undercarriage so this is how i deal with it. I use an oscillating lawn sprinkler (set to full left-to-right range) & move it to various locations, perhaps starting at the rear & letting it run for a few minutes then pull the hose to bring it further foreward.

Certainly doesn't approach the psi of a pressure washer but, with most of the undercarriage being only 12 - 24" away, the lawn sprinkler method does an adequate job in the driveway

Look for a touch less wash.

What I do is spray ONR or D114 diluted at quick detail ratio.

Spray it over the entire car.

Then to thru the touch less wash.

They actually clean the cars pretty well for a touchless.

And this summer make sure you polish your car then coat it.

The coatings help TREMENDOUSLY with touchless washing as its harder for

Dirt,salt,grime,mud to stick.

If you want a easy, AND I MEAN EASY, coating to apply.

Try the paint coating from the SPECTACULAR McKee's 37 line.

It's so easy to apply a caveman can do it. If you can apply wax, you can apply this coating.

It will give you up to 2 years of protection. And it's a bargain price.
