Removing salt and grime from underside?

With all of the snow/ice we have had lately the truck is really nasty looking up inside the wheel wells and all over the exposed parts of the frame.

What is the best way to get all of the salt/grime off of these areas?

 

Hook up the sprinkler, place under car in front or back and slowly move it from one end to the other over the course of an hour or so. Just go out and move it every 15 mins or so. Wheel wells you just hit with the hand wand at the car wash but the sprinkler from the underside will dissolve any built up grime and salt to help prevent rust

 

This salt and crap is really caked on. Think a simple sprinkler will do the job?

 

Take it through a touch less car wash first most have an underside wash you drive over. I would use this as an in between if you’re worried about too much salt and crud.

 

Salt dissolves in water, sprinkler is fine

 

I was looking into a product called Neutro Wash. I was going to try it until I saw you need to get 12 gallons min. Maybe we could do a group buy.

Carwash undercarriage products online spray bottles form HD or Lowes short nozzle pressure washer. Oh and a lil man hour of time maybe 2 man hrs. I have a friend in the car wash business that what I do.

 

I use a cheap electric power washer. I know harbor freight or Amazon has them. Wish it was a tad stronger but gets the job done with hep of a heavy duty brush. It also has a hook up for soap that’s nice. Ever since my truck encountered salt my leaf springs squeak like a MFr.

 

It’s also going to be mid 50s and sunny tomorrow, she’s getting a good belly scrubbing

 

Water and soap and this, need to do a good wash on mine this weekend

What the duce is that!

 

pure badassery

 

Wash It!

 

I am from Florida so we don't have salt on the roads (except the normal salt spray), but we do have it in the ocean.

This stuff seems to help take it off easier when washing the boat, but not like an order of magnitude.

Damn! I was just at harbor freight yesterday...oh well, this deserves another trip!! Thanks for the parts list!!!

 

Right on. You need to neutralize the salt. Plain undercarriage washing alone is not good enough.

 

Pressure washer and just cold water. Soap is corrosive and using warm water will activate the salt
