Winter Driving Advise

[dgcook]

Hi all:

I plan to drive my 911 through the winter months. For the first time this year, Seattle will be using (presumably on rare occasions) salt on the roads. Apart from not driving, what is the best way to limit or prevent the harmful effects of grim and salt deposits? Should I power wash the under the car periodically?

thanks.

Power washing might not go far enough. I always take the time in the spring to manually hose out underneath, especially the wheel wells and other areas. Even so, salty mist can get into areas you'd never think of, and you'll never know it. If you want to pass your car on to your kid, I wouldn't drive it in the winter. If it's just a transportation appliance, go forth and don't worry about it.
