Convertible undercarriage wash
Quick question that didn’t occur to me until I bought a convertible. How do you guys clean the undercarriage of the car? Automated no touch car washes don’t seem to be a good option for the soft top. We got a light dusting of snow the other day and the local DPW dumped more salt on the roads that I’ve ever seen in November. I wasn’t quite ready to put the car away for the winter yet. I don’t want to leave corrosive salt on the undercarriage if I pick some up on my next drive. Thoughts?

Pressure washer or lawn sprinklers work.

Something like this could work as well if you have a pressure washer with the correct fitting. Had a neighbor with a jeep that would clean off all the mud from under the car with something similar |

I've had 3 convertibles over the course of about 15 years, 2 BMW's 1 Porsche and I've never had a brushless wash EVER damage a top.
Seriously, go get one, with an underbody spray, There is an attachment you can buy for a preassure washer, which looks like a broom on wheels, you roll it under the car and it sprays water underneath BUT honestly, just take it to a touchless. I've even used a carwash with brushes, not recommended but once in a while no problems. Micro scratches, MEH, a I said in 15 years I've used car washed both brush and brushless with no problems BMW's are pretty good when I comes to car washes Quote:
