Is it okay if I go through a touch less car was that sprays the undercarriage of my vehicle to get rid of the road salt and other stuff from the winter months, once or twice a year? What about the soap and headlight OEM clear coat with UV protection, any negative effects of those? I just want to get rid of the salt as soon as possible until I have time to wash, clay, and apply paint sealant in the spring.
I would do it every day if I had unlimited tokens, didn't have to wait in line and there was a touchless on my way home. The soap can't be any worse than salt and sand getting sprayed at your car on the roads.

I would advise when you do go to just get the basic wash with no waxes or sealers.
I had self car wash a few miles away from me but it is closed for 6 months now. I have no choice but to do pre-soaked rinsless.
I do it, but then go home and put it in the garage and do a rinseless wash to get the scum off and the spots that the touchless missed. Then do a follow up with a spray wax to add back the protection the car wash soap took off.Quote:

You may have to move the car several times to get the salt out of every nook and cranny.
Then spray the underside of the car with a heavy coat of WD-40 to displace all the water.
This is what I would do after being at the Bonneville Salt Flats for a week of racing.
And I would soak the underside of the tow vehicle with WD-40 before I went. It kept the salt from attacking the underside at all.
