Default powerwashing underbody?..
I am thinking about going to a quarter wash place that has the power sprayers and washing the underside of my car and wheel wells etc w/ high pressure. Is there any damage short or long term that could be done, e.g. blasting away the anti corrosive on the underbody, etc?

Default I recommend you power wash the engine too wth the covers off.Wash to get dirt out of electrical conn
I wash my engine all the time with a garden hose. A power wash would work really good.

Let's not forget the interior. Powerwashing will get every speck of dust out of the air vents.

Default You need to activate the sarcasm alert when you do this

Nope, I've even used the high pressure water (no soap!) on my car to no ill effect.
