Why Sandy vehicles need it
If you live on the east side of Sandy, you drive some of the most heavily treated roads in the state. Wasatch Boulevard, 9400 South and the road up Little Cottonwood Canyon to Snowbird and Alta get salt and liquid deicer before, during and after every storm.
All of that ends up under your vehicle. It packs into the frame, the suspension, the brake lines and the seams along the rocker panels. Deicer made with magnesium chloride is the stubborn part. It stays tacky, draws moisture out of the air, and keeps corroding metal on dry days too.
What the salt flush includes
- Underbody rinse: frame, suspension, exhaust and skid plates
- Wheel wells and behind the mud flaps
- Neutralizing wash on rockers, lower doors and tailgate
- Foam hand wash of the whole vehicle
- Wheels and tires
- Door jambs and sills, where salt water pools
- Hand dry
- Optional: paint sealant, or rubber mat and carpet salt extraction
Lifted trucks and off-road builds
A lifted truck has more exposed metal underneath and more places for slush to sit: skid plates, control arms, shock mounts, the tops of the frame rails, the inside of aftermarket bumpers. Bigger tires also throw more spray up into the wheel wells and along the body.
We take our time on these. The underbody rinse works front to back and from both sides, and we open up the areas behind mud flaps and inside the bumper ends where a drive-through spray bar never reaches.
When to do it
The best schedule is a flush after each run of storms, or about every two weeks through the winter if you're up the canyon often. At minimum, do one thorough flush in spring once the plows stop, before the warm weather speeds up whatever corrosion has started.
If you're storing a vehicle for the summer or selling it, a spring flush is the single most useful thing you can do for it.
Why not just use the tunnel wash?
A tunnel wash underbody spray is a few seconds of water from fixed nozzles. It knocks off loose slush and misses most of what matters. It also sends your paint through the brushes with a winter's worth of grit on it, which is where a lot of swirl marks come from.
We rinse by hand until the water runs clear, then hand wash the body with clean mitts.
Questions about undercarriage and road salt wash in Sandy
How often should I wash the undercarriage in winter?
After each run of storms, or roughly every two weeks if you drive canyon roads regularly. At the very least, once in spring when the plows stop.
Can you wash my truck when it's below freezing?
We watch the forecast and schedule around hard freezes so water doesn't ice up on your driveway or in door seals. Most winter days in Sandy have a workable window.
Do you remove salt stains from the carpet too?
Yes, as an add-on or as part of an interior detail. Salt dissolves with the right cleaner and comes out with hot water extraction.
Will an underbody rinse hurt anything?
No. We use a controlled rinse, not a turbo nozzle against seals or wiring. It's gentler than what the road throws at it.
Do you need my hose?
No. We bring the water, and we dry every panel by hand so it doesn't spot.
