Fine this morning but it started to sleet/snow in the last hour or so.My abarth is all tucked up in the garage .
Guys dont forget to pressure wash off the crap from the gritt underneath your cars as soon as possible.So before your drive home maby stop off at the nearest jet wash and spray off as much crap as possible from underneath.Arches...exhausts etc.
Probably a silly question, but why's it so important?
Not a silly question at all mate.
Basically...your car underneath is not protected/galavanised like the cars body work.
Gritt is basically salt that attacks the underneath and in the long run your car underneath will develop rust.
Gritt and water attacks the body underneath,suspension springs and exhausts.
My original exhaust was on the car for 4 years and even though its mild steel it looks still in really good condition when i replaced it with the monza.The m.o.t chap said it still had plenty of life in it.
I have seen similiar age cars to mine with rotted exhausts.
Best advise is dont use in snow or around gritted areas so itl prolong the cars life
...if you need to then a simple pressure wash off will remove most of the bad gritt(not all though as you wont be able to get into the nooks and crannys) but atleast most is off
