I use my 960 mk2 basically daily and would like to keep it for a good couple of years yet if I can.

a while ago I looked underneath, wire brushed any brown crust, Kurust and gave it some layers of paint (not underseal, i don't trust any of that crap) - i plan on doing this every couple of years or so.

Now, the car does get used in winter and all that, it's not going to be kept in a dehumified garage only to come out when our one day of summer hits, so I have realistic expectations, but at the same time I don't want to waste the car by not doing something which is fairly easy and can hold off the brown death a bit longer.

So aside from a yearly, or two-yearly scrub and paint, is there anything I can do to maintain the underside of my car? Pressure wash after winter or something?

cheers
