Must have for Northeast people - Karcher under chassis cleaner

This is a must have for those of us who live in the northeast and would like to keep the bottom of our cars clean of salt and winter grime. I find that I had to raise suspension or else it's a bit too tight for the chassis cleaner to go underneath. It's got great reach and can easily get to anywhere under the car, especially the suspension areas. It's a bit pricey (~$100 from Amazon, cost almost as much as my Karcher pressure washer!), but it's worth the investment in keeping the E55 wagon clean from the harsh NE winters.

Wow - I never saw one of those. I think it's a great idea for all of the cars. I'm usually just using a hose to get as much of the salt rinsed off as I can.

Although, the beast never goes out when the roads are salted.

I used it again last week after last week's snow storm. The two nozzles spin and has just the right amount of water pressure to get the salt and gunk off. Spent a lot of time and care on the suspension areas, the whole exhaust sections, and the differential. The proof was in all the dirt and crap on the ground after the wash. This cleaner comes with a soap dispenser that I never got around to use but I'm planning to try it out on the next wash.
