If you have a full service history with Nissan, maybe worth asking them, they do offer a 5 year warranty unlimited mileage against corrosion. I know your car is over 5 years old, but they may show some good will.

There's a Detailing guy on YT who attaches his Karcher pressure washer rotary brush to a small pair of wheels, similar to a shopping bag trolley, and he wheels it under his car upside down and lets it blast the underside framework.

Khay, Qashowner has mentioned Full Service History. In the Service Book there are entries for the “Service” & “Body Work” that can be checked out for 10 years. If you have your QQ Serviced at a Nissan Dealer it might be worth taking a look if there is a Stamp / Date and then follow up with Nissan - Dave 😊
