which is better to remove salt: hand wash vs machine wash

Which is better to remove salt on the underside of the car: hand wash vs machine wash.

The hand wash is a little more expensive. The hand washer said he would spray water onto the undercarriage of the car.

I guess the wash machine will spray soap, high-pressure water and wax (of course not as good as hand applied wax) to the undercarriage of the car.

The machine wash removed the salt just as good as me doing it myself by hand.

Dont forget to rust proof.

Rustproofing is when you take the car to a center where they spray a special type of oil in the body cavities and underneath of the car to prevent corrosion and rust from salt and elements of winter.
