Road salt does not stop working when the snow goes. It sits in the wheel wells, along the rocker panels and up inside the frame, and it keeps eating at metal through the spring. Getting it out is the cheapest rust prevention there is.
This is a targeted job rather than a full detail. The underside, wheel wells, rocker panels and frame rails get flushed properly, brake dust comes off the wheels, and the salt residue is neutralised rather than just rinsed. Worth booking once the roads dry out, and again after a bad stretch mid winter if the vehicle is worth keeping.

How the work is done
-
01
Underside first
The frame, wells and rockers are flushed before anything else is touched.
-
02
Neutralise
A salt neutraliser goes on so the residue is broken down rather than pushed further in.
-
03
Wheels and arches
Brake dust and packed grit come off the wheels and out of the arches.
-
04
Rinse and dry
Full rinse down, then dried so nothing refreezes.
Questions about this service
Once in early spring when the salt trucks stop, and again mid winter if there has been a long warm stretch.
No. A drive through spray is a few seconds of water. This is a proper flush with a neutraliser.
Yes, and it is worth combining. Ask for both when you request a quote.
