    I honestly don't remember the brand name, they did sell Eastwood products though I believe. I will look at the can when I get back in later this evening to see. Actually I'll just take a pic.

    Blue beacon offers undercarriage wash, not sure how good they are. I do have pressure washer at home and will be washing my truck off this spring and putting POR15 on the chassis.

    Look into getting a worx hydroshot. It's around $100 or 160 if you get an extra battery. Worth every penny I love it..
    Just get a bucket of soapy water and a brush. Spray , wash , rinse, 5 gallons of water is what it takes me on my peterbilt 386.
    Some videos of the hydroshot on YouTube.

    You can get undercarriage attachment for pressure washer that will rinse undercarriage at high psi and remove salt/dirt.

    If your talking about the worx hydroshot
    Then no.
    But works good for keeping your truck looking good...without having to pay to get it washed all the time.
    I still go get it washed from time to time with the high power washers . but my truck is almost always shining...

    No, Im talking about an actual attachment you can get for pressure washer (if you have one, and probably should have one in household)

    If you're using POR 15, just know, it's not UV stable. UV rays will break it down and cause it to prematurely fail so anywhere on your chassis that gets sunshine on a usual basis should be topcoated with a traditional paint to protect the POR 15.

    POR15 makes their own topcoat that will adhere to POR15 or base chassis.
