Undercarriage washer

[REMUB40]

Great for southern climes but up here it can tend to wash off the Woolwax undercoating which is a big no no.

When spring arrive here in about 3 months a nice drive in the rain and call it a day.

Not sure about southern climate, but mine is covered in salt and brine here in VA.

I researched that washer recently and decided it wasn't worth it. Seems like it just sprays up and not at angles. I can't really use it below freezing either and it requires the power washer. I do self car wash bays all winter and hit it at angles, that's plenty for me. Just need to do an extra thorough one in the spring.

i regularly go to a wand type car wash. i choose the salt treatment and initially treat the undercarriage including wheel wells. i get down on my "haunches" and get the wand under there. then i wand the truck w soap and rinse, then i do the soap undercarriage. seems reasonable enough and it's all under $7

I was about to post the same thing. I just bought one of these, along with a pressure washer and a foam cannon, and was wondering if there's any areas under the truck I should be cautious around because of all the electronic doo-dads.

We got snow 2 days after I picked up my Maverick and the truck looks like someone pelted it with white paintballs from all the damn salt. I took it through a touchless wash with undercarriage spray but I can see it didn't get everything so I figured I better just get a setup to do it myself

Works like a charm removing the winter crud from underneath any vehicle.

Just cleaned off mine and my wife's vehicles today using it.

Nice! I would advise my gravel driveway brethren to get one w bigger wheels.

I would switch the position of the angled piece and the straight.

On the tiny Maverick it worked fine like that on my larger vehicles Yes switching it helps.

After looking at this post I thought it was a great idea to spray down the the undercarriage. But, I get my Maverick rust proofed every year with NHOU oil undercoating. If I spray the undercarriage it would slowly wash away the NHOU oil. I've been getting my Maverick rustproofed for the last 3 years and I asked Motor City Rustproofing if I needed to do this every year now, after he looked and sprayed the undercarriage he said every other year would be good since I have a good coating since I did this 3 years in a row.
