Auto Tip #3

I heard this from my grandmother a couple of years ago, then I saw it on the Internet a few days ago. To preserve the underside of your car from rust and keep any components from rotting, you should have it cleaned. The main reason to clean the bottom of the car is to clean off any salt that gets kicked up from the roads during the winter season. Salt is very corrosive and will prematurely rust and rot the underside of the car. You can get it cleaned when you bring your car to the car wash, just ask them to clean the undercarriage. If you clean your car yourself you can easily clean the undercarriage with a sprinkler. Just put one of those sprinklers that go slowly back and forth under the front of your car for about 10 minutes, then move it toward the back (to make sure every thing gets rinsed).
