So I live in Ohio and we're currently getting snow here and there so far but we will get the big snow eventually. I wanted to figure out a way to keep my truck clean during the winter as well as clean off the road salt off it. I need help with a routine or techniques to do so weekly or bi-weekly. any suggestions guys? I also detail my family's cars so I guess I need to do it to their cars as well lol.

I purchased an electric pressure washer from Home Depot. I have a large gas powered one but the electric one I purchased I can carry around like a tool bag hook it up and wash the salt of the truck and then pack it up. I bought an under carriage attachment for the power washer off Amazon and it works great to get the salt off the frame areas.

Thank you I was thinking about the undercarriage attachment but I wasn't sure which one to get but since this one works well with you I might just buy it then.

If your handy you can make your own undercarriage spray attachment and get up under there even closer.

I made my own similar to the Amazon kit. I would suggest buying a dollar store pool noodle and putting it over the wands to protect the sills as you roll the nozzle under the vehicle.
