Washing salt off? Help

[shaunmbenson]

Hey gang

I just did one of my cross continent drives from LA to Toronto - FWIW did over 2000kms/1300miles in one 20 hour go
My 85 Targa was gold throughout

Anyways, got salt sprayed all through Colorado and now it's 0 degrees Centigrade = 32 Fahrenheit in Toronto and will be for a week at least

Should I let the car sit salted til it warms up or go clean the hell out of it today??

Thanks

No, get a pressure washer and hook it up to a hot water supply. Water heaters are a good source if the drain valve works.

you gotta get the car up in the air and soak it. over and over. soap and brushes. nooks and crannies.
i would want to be be careful with a pressure washer.

Why careful with the pressure?

We don't use salt in Colorado. You car is covered in the mag-chloride ice melt we spray on the roads. It is not as bad a salt, but you need to get it off the car ASAP - especially if your car has any bright work.

This ^.

As much volume of water as you can get with a good spray nozzle, but I wouldn't use a pressure washer.
