I have one of these that attaches to my pressure washer. Used it on my other vehicles not yet on my Vette.

Before driving (once per year to the south during winter) on salty roads, I use duct tape to cover the holes in the shipping slots in the frame. They are located approximately by the front and rear of the doors.

After leaving the salt zone, I wash the car with a wand or a touchless that sprays underneath, then remove the tape. There are supposed to be other holes in the frame but no water comes out when the tape is removed.

There are several places on line to buy. I can't remember exactly where. I searched around for the best price. I think finally maybe bought on ebay for about $40 + shipping.

search for under carriage car wash.

I didn't realize you had to have a pressure washer to connect to this undercarriage cleaner. That's far too much work to pull that out and fuss with it to get it running for five minutes of cleaning. I'll take mine to the touchless car wash and use their undercarriage cleaner.

I think if you google "underwash" you'll find something similar that hooks up to a garden hose.
