Under-body car wash?

sean_d

Does anybody know anywhere in south Dublin that offers a way of giving the underside of the car a steam clean?
I'm getting paranoid about the salt sitting on it after all the icy weather we've had

You could try any petrol station that has a power hand wash. Just give it a go yourself and you'll have it done in a minute.

i agree i was concerned too so i just went to a jetwash and did it myself - it's quite easy to hit all the under-side of the car, most of the lances are angled.

Every few months Aldi and Lidl do a great deal on power washers
Just an option and saves going to stations

I know it's not Dublin ...but for anyone in Sligo, the ex Seat garage on the old Dublin road has a big ramp out the back where they do pre-NCT under car washes. I'd say they'd be happy to do a post-salt one too.

Thanks, that was what I had in mind.
With the car on the ground, I'm not confident that I'd (a) get every nook and cranny and (b) not hit delicate sensors or such.

Sligo is a long way for a car wash though

Maybe if you got a pair of these, it could help

Maxol's most expensive wash claims to wash the underside. I got it done and I couldn't see any difference but then again I didn't have it up in a ramp.

You'd want to make sure the car wash isn't using recycled water, I think they nearly all have to now, as you may end up spraying more salt onto the car then there already is on it as I doubt many have filters suitable for removing salt from water.
