What year is said Forester?  If there's any severe rust already, then the damage is pretty much done.  A good pressure washing and APC foaming/cleaning of the undercarriage never hurts.  Treat the exterior as normal.

‘04.  No sever rust. Just want to prevent it from happening. I’m going to pressure wash for sure but want a product to pull it all out of the paint and undercarriage

Being from Iowa where they use salt and other calcium products there is no substitute for pressure washing.

 

Unfortunately you pretty much need the vehicle on jack stands (at minimum) to do this and you are going to be totally soaked

Ya, I was going to get the wheels off, Clay them and clean wheel wells and under carriage very well. I was just looking for a product to pull the salt out of the paint and undercarriage.

I m in the southern states, I’m buying a forester from Pennsylvania and I know they salt the roads up there. Well I don’t want the humidity mixing with the salt in the paint and undercarriage so I’m looking for ways to get it all off. I was thinking iron remover and clay bar for paint and then undercarriage spray and eco all purpose for undercarriage. Any opinions??

Start with the foam cannon and ultra foam shampoo or regular shampoo (your choice) then wash the car using the two bucket method. After you wash the car and while it is still wet, grab your detail spray and clay. Spray down an area with detail spray and clay the panel, the move around and clay the car. After you clay you can wash again or just rinse off the car. Then while the car is still wet after the final rinse use h20 guard and gloss with two microfiber towels and wet one towel down. Next, spray h2p guard and gloss on the panel, use the wet towel to spread the product and your other dry towel to buff off. Then stand back and enjoy the shine!

Awesome! Thank you!

Recently I went all in with Adams Polishes products. I’ve heard and seen great things.  i just bought a White Honda S2000 and I’m wanting to clay it and protect the paint.

I have at my disposal for cleaning the car paint: foam gun, ultra foam shampoo, the standard shampoo, visco clay bar, detail spray, and H2O guard gloss.  In what order should I be using these items to get the best results? 

I know to use the detail spray with the clay bar, but should I do that after the h2o guard gloss or before?

The h2o guard gloss is water activated so I’d have to use it when the car is still wet. Mean while, clawing the car with the guard gloss on it doesn’t really make sense to me. Help please?
