Touchless carwash question...

This might be a dumb question, but I would rather ask a dumb question now than screw up my car. Anyways, I am a poor college kid in CT and I DD my 88 Camaro with a 5.7 Carbed engine. I have to drive my car through the winter and want it to last a long time without rust issues. When I bought my car, the previous owner installed a cowl hood. I also noticed that there is no under body splash guard (truth be told, I don't know if there is supposed to be one or not). My question is, will this combo of items on my car be harmed by using a high pressure touchless carwash with undercarriage spray? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

-Steve
