Default cleaning the undercarrage?

Does anyone here really bother really cleaning the undercarrage besides just spraying water on it?

I had the undercarriage cleaned from my car wash just this past weekend (at an auto touchless/brushless wash place). I consider it important to do once in a while to prevent any rusting, esp. during the wintertime with the snow and sand on the ground.

Cool

Agreed! especially when we drive in places where we are exposed to road salt and the like. I "flushed" the undercarriage of mine just today.....got the nozzel on the hose, some knee pads & was there for a good 20 - 25 minutes actually lol I got in all the little places where salt could be trapped including the wheel wells & up in the bumpers. I'm getting mine rust proofed & don't want them to rust proof over any salt beforehand. It's a wise idea to do it.
