Still_Small_Voice Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I was looking into spraying the under side of a new car that was purchased to protect it from the salt on winter roads.Does anyone have any experience with this? What product should I buy? Where should I spray it specifically? Should I avoid spraying it on the muffler?Here is something I was looking at:3M/16 oz. professional grade rubberized undercoating (3584) | Top and Under Coating | AutoZone.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) If you live somewhere like the Great Lakes areas, places with long, hard winters where salt is used on the roads a lot, this might be worthwhile. Otherwise, I would save my money. Edited October 3, 2013 by Vort He talkses like my precious, yes he doeses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarginOfError Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Wash your car every couple of months during the winter and pay the extra couple of dollars for the undercarriage rinse. It doesn't even need a treatment...just spray enough water up there to dilute the salt. This should be more than sufficient. Keep in mind, I've had cars that I've never done more than take to a car wash for a standard wash after the winter was over and the undercarriage never had problems for the life of the car. This is one of those things that car washes will tell you is more important than it is so that you spend more money on the car wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishcolleen Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 We live in the great lakes and we wash our cars and get an undercarriage wash every week or two, depending on the snowfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSG Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I was looking into spraying the under side of a new car that was purchased to protect it from the salt on winter roads.Texas road dust works well for me. Just keep a steady stream of it blowing on the undercarriage, and rust there is pretty much a non-issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still_Small_Voice Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thanks for the advice. I think I will just do as was suggested. Take the car to a car wash that has the undercarriage spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
