Default Road salt

Now that winter is pretty much over and no more salt will be on the road, I'd like to have a good, clean undercarriage. Do any of you guys have any good recommendations? I took my old 4runner to washworld last year and got the typhoon but all it did was take the dust off. I need a quality job.

Nature.

The layer of road salt mixed with sand won't do as much damage as having someone pressure washed all the protection off your undercarriage. Just let the rain and water on the road do the work for you. If you're still paranoid, take a garden hose and spray under it when you wash your car.

Put the car on jackstands and use a hose to clean the wheelwells out thoroughly. I used to pull the inner fender linings on my Prelude every year, and was always amazed at how much dirt would be trapped underneath them.
