Here in the rust belt, rocker panels usually rust out long before the rest of the car. And pickup bed wheel wells are another bad spot for rust. I finally got around to doing the spring cleaning on my '17 Silverado, and decided I should try to flush out the rocker panels. Looking under the truck, I see there are several oblong openings along the inside bottom of the rocker panels, each about an inch long. I assume they're drains. So I took a hose and shot water into each of the drains until the water coming back out the other drains was clear. I didn't get much dirt out, which I suppose is good.

This was AFTER I'd spent half an hour at the car wash cleaning out the wheel wells and underbody with a wand. Hopefully I got most of the salt out.
