Nah, none of the above

Intent on keeping car for many, many years to come, and I like my weekend toy to be clean.

Remove side skirts and clean out the 1-2kg of gravel that accumulates behind them at the ends.....weight saving performance gain haha!

Default Cleaning the underside of the WRX

There are some car wash places that have drive on ramps to let you clean under the car with the high pressure hose. Take some degreaser or preferred cleaner and it's the normal cost $1 for 2 minutes or what ever.

Same with the back of the front inner plastic guards, at least half a kilo of gunk waiting to cause rust sitting in the bottom of your front guards.

I get under mine with a scrubbing brush and degreaser and the garden hose, i normally do it once a year under the floor pan and in the wheel arches etc, makes it all come up white again
