Underbody car wash OK?

I’ve always felt it was important to use an underbody car wash in the winter to wash off road salt after roads are clear after a snow. But I’ve never had a car as sophisticated as my GLC. It’s pretty well loaded, so it has just about all the sensors and cameras they can put on one. Any thoughts, particularly from any MB folks who might be aware of potential damage from doing this. If that is NOT recommended, what’s the best thing you can do? Of course my thought is it could cause MORE damage to leave corrosive road salt under there to corrode sensitive components.

The best preventive measure one can take so as to alleviate underbody corrosion is to spec. the underbody wash each time your at the car wash.

The vehicle electronics are protected from the elements.

Thanks, guys. I guess I just wanted someone to confirm that for me!
