No haha its not my first choice to be driving. We just got about 3" up here and I didn't even drive the Evo today..the old lady had it(jetta doesn't do to well ) It just seems like everytime you go to wash the thing it snows again. thats why after the winter I always make sure to take the wheels off and spray everything to make sure its good and clean then.

Evnro guys probably wouldn't like all the grease/oil/pb blaster that would run into the ground if I did it though haha

I was actually thinking of picking up a cheap electric power washer just for this occasion. There is a power washer attachment that looks like one of those long brooms janitors use. It has about 5-6 nozzles that point upwards and jets the bottom of your car.

I would use a touchless car wash if you can so the brushes don't scratch the crap out of your paint. Afterwards since the cleaners and soaps they use to clean are a bit harsh, and will strip any wax or protectant you have on, re-wax.

If not and it's not too cold, jack the car up, spray it with soap, jet it off with water, spray any metal parts with degreaser, give it a good agitation with a brush, wash off. Will keep your undercarriage shining for your cars life.

As was mentioned, pay close attention to the ACD pump. Keep that sucker clean.
