No-rinse wash in cold climates?

[Corbets]

So I’m planning to put some kind of PPF on my X shortly after picking it up later this month in Denmark, and if I’m going to do that, I shouldn’t ruin the job by putting my Tessie through a high pressure wash. I’ve read a lot about products like Optimum No-Rinse, and that seems clear enough. My question is how you deal with salt corrosion in colder climates. Every car I’ve had in the last 25 years, I’ve made a point of regular washes of the undercarriage during winter in order to remove the salt that builds up from the roads. But driving into a washing bay is no longer on the table...

What do you guys / gals do?

I had my car wrapped with PPF and then I use ONR on a regular basis.

I am not sure if you are referring to an automatic car wash or just using a hand held pressure washer. You can use a pressure washer, but make sure you do not get the nozzle closer than a couple feet.

Unfortunately, a hand held pressure washer is difficult to target at the undercarriage from a distance. ;/

I take my X thru a car wash at least once a month and no issues. I also use the ONR. Not sure why everyone thinks a car wash is so bad. I had my 1st X for two years and it looked great. My new X is the same.

Same here. Have been giving my S and X touchless washes to remove heavy stuff. ONR and Wolfgang to perfect and protect.
