Fear of car washes

"If there's a will, there's a way"! We lived in Wisconsin where they salt the road after a frost, or so it seems. If you want to get the salt &******off you'll find a way; and no it's not likely to be a drive through. Using the self serve power wash for the undersides works great, and needs to be done regularly when there is slush or wet because of salty road conditions. As for the body, the best thing you can do is go into the season with a really good wax job. Carnuba paste is hardest and last's longest. It's also the most labor intensive. When you go to the power wash joint, spray the body, then have your bucket & brush to hand wash. If somebody's got a problem with that, too bad. Most seasons inevitably have a few days warm up. Get off the couch, good hand wash, into the garage and apply another coat of wax. Keep the truck in the garage with some drying heat makes a huge difference as well. We added a small fan to circulate the air as well. To get rust/corrosion you need moisture, eliminate it between washes will net results.
