Cleaning undercarriage?

[Malonejr83]

Hi, I ordered my telly but still waiting for it. Thinking ahead how to keep it up as I plan to keep it for a long time.

I have a 2018 sorento and just noticed yesterday rusting on the muffler, not small not big but moderate amount.

I'm from California, and moved to Texas few months ago, so that's concerning its rusted in sunny California where it barely rains. I haven't looked all the way up under.

My question is how do I go about getting the undercarriage cleaned? Do car washes do it or have to go to a detail shop?

Will rust protection be an option I should do?

I mostly wash my own car but I sometimes go to the car wash, never noticed if it does the undercarriage though.

Let me know. Thanks

It's probably some surface rust. All cars have it but I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the issues with the exhaust system happen on the piping not the muffler anyway.
