how do you remove the salt under your car from the winter?

[79elcamino]

the only way i can think of is bringing it to the a car wash but i am afraid of putting more swirls in my car cause the swirls i have no are so small you have to be really close to see them, i have a question, is it the car wash that puts the swirls in the paint or the people drying it with those towels or both? there are no touch less car washes anywhere near me ive looked there is one brushless but its a trip and if i did go i was bring my own drying towel i aint letting them touch my car to dry it.

You can go to the coin-op place and use their gun and soap to spray around under there.

I wash my truck at least once a week. When there is a storm where salt is heavily used, I try to get the salt/sand washed off as quick as possible. Also, being that I have a truck, I can get to much of the frame and under body with a brush to get as much as possible off. Also, I have heard of people who use one of those sudsing spay nozzles with the reservoir. Instead of soap, they put in water/baking soda mix to nuetralize the salt. The best prevention though is a good thorough undercoating with a QUALITY product. I bought a Ford ranger new in 98. I just sent it to the junk yard because the frame was literally swiss cheese due to salt. I just bought 2010 Ranger. First thing I did was undercoated it very well.

Cheap and easy way to rinse the bottom of the car is to use a lawn sprinkler attached to a hose and you slowly go back and forth over the sprinkler in your driveway

I do about the same thing.........except I let the car sit in the driveway and slowly pull the lawn sprinkler under the car. That seems to work better for me.

You sir, are a genius! Luckily, salt isn't a huge problem in Nashville, but I dig the tip.
