Used it after watching this video. It's a great product that leaves a Teflon like layer of protection behind. I dilute 60mls/2 Oz of product in 1 liter of water. I use foam pump to cover the car and let it work for 10 minutes. I then rinse it off using a power wash (from local gas station) and dry using Sonax BSD as drying aid (2 squirts on towel per panel) . Salt off literally dissolves salt and light dirt. It can go on painted surfaces, tires, glass, wheels and trim. Totally recommended. Car is ready in less than 30 minutes. Note: my car is well looked after, I coated with Fusso Coat 5 months ago and it's still going strong. Salt off does not remove waxes or sealants when used as per manufacturer's instructions.
thanks for posting and glad you like the product, we did a salt wash last night on the ATS-V worked like a charm and I like the fact it does not strip the surface as other decon soaps do. truly a great product too have for winter months.
Autofanatic, dude THIS SALT!!!! Coming home last week when we had "snow scrolls " Sanitation dumped a crap load here in the outer-boroughs especially where I work. Hate this time of year so I'm looking into your new "find".
Yea but most boats are jell coat fiberglass... I totally agree with you on the Solo pump sprayer I use ONR in mine.
What do you think of Salts Gone concentrate? Have you tried it?
Great job. And the car is absolutely stunning WOW. I didn’t realize how nice the guilia is until watching your video.
Curious to know if this product would be harmful to a ceramic coating? This would be huge for me in MI, but don't want to kill the hard work I put into the ceramic coating last fall. Any insight is much appreciated!
I like it. Being a northeast guy as well (PA) we get doused in salt pretty heavily here too, so this is definitely a worthwhile product to grab.
I tried many other marine products and this performed the absolute best as shown in the video.
I can't decide what I hate more salt in the winter or bugs in the summer
salt trust me on that, bugs are easy to deal with and wont wreck the entire car
Atleast bugs are mostly on the front of the car, not literslly every inch
Auto Fanatic thanks for the reply man. Love your work it inspires me to keep cleaning in these awful conditions.
The only issue is most plow companies are not using road salt anymore . They are using an ice melt chemical that is much for sticky and more difficult to remove compared to salt. I’m still gonna buy this stuff and give it a shot.
this product does work but I am no longer using or suggesting it because of the pTFE in it which is bad for your health especially now with whats been going on this past year. If you do use this please wear a proper respirator if you plan to atomize it in a foam cannon.
Ok. I literally have it in my cart on Amazon. Do you have anything safer that your using now ?
not yet i have not tested anything new yet we just got our first snow and i have some samples of various products but you can use any marine grade salt remover you can find just stay away from Teflon and PTFE even though it works great its not worth the health risks now
Awesome, really need something like this...they salt the sh** out of the roads up here in New England.
Thanks brother👊🏼
Did you try the stuff? Did it work?
Just ordered! I’ve been looking for a semi rinseless way to remove salt. I’m trying to start a exterior detailing business out here at my base in Germany. Had one back in the states and I have been missing detailing ever since
UPDATE/TIPS
I have since received this product and used it 4 times on multiple occasions. My application process was as so.
With the car dry and in the shade I sprayed the product utilizing two sprayers the 1st one was the Chemical guys 1.5 L sprayer. (I do not recommend this sprayer after testing it) after figuring out that 1.5L wasn’t enough I ordered the suggested Solo sprayer and it is much better. I used the recommended ratio of 1oz per 1 liter of warm water on a dry car surface. These cars I tested had most likely never been protected/detailed since being bought off the lot. I did not experience the PTEF making the paint bead. However it did Amazing job of picking up about 80% of the grime off the paint. After letting sit for 2-5 mins I would then rinse the entire vehicle and begin the 2BM wash. After rinsing I then applied Turtle Wax ICE spray wax to the paint to protect it from further salt adhesion. If you want to see the results feel free to look at my Instagram @madcarcare_germany. This is a really cool product for those who don’t have a personal pressure washer/foam gun. Although it seems like we might not get any more snow here in Germany it’s nice to know that the salt was removed.
I generally just wash regularly and then after winter I jack my old m3 up and put on axle stands and clean underneath and all the inner wheel arches etc. I can’t see by the Bill Hamber products for that deep cleaning, I also recommend (Lanoguard) we have it here in the uk and it’s game changer for under body/component protection and so easy to use.
I just started using the stuff with in the past two months it seems to do a great job. I own a landscaping company outside of Philadelphia and we plow and salt with our trucks. I hose the entire truck and the undercarriage with this stuff and it peels the salt right off. Our trucks get completely covered in salt I try to wash them off and get the salt off as quickly as I can but sometimes it’s way too cold to do a regular wash so I just give them a quick hose down with this stuff and rinse it off really well. Hopefully this will help stop them from rusting out.
yeah this stuff works great this is my go to solution now even for quick rinse offs between storms.
Do you still use this product to remove salt from you snow removal equipment? Do you still recommend it? Thank you
Underneath is the most important part I do salt away underneath as well. I just drive the front of the car up onto ramps and then rinse underneath the car with water then use the water mixed with the salt away and then rinse it all off again. Underneath is more important and the area that is most forgotten that’s why all cars in the north are rust buckets underneath
This is awesome! Thank you for the review/recommendation. 1 question, and you may have covered it, is this safe on Ceramic coated cars?
it should not be any issue on your car
Nice stuff, do what I do, save my new vet in the garage and drive my nicely used 2009 Trailblazer in the winter during salting periods. Also avoiding rain after salt periods. Trailblazer gets an undercarriage wash with my Big Joe pressure washer with a 90 degree wand. I’m not out to impress anyone in the winter. Just appreciate as you do also, a great and expense car. Damn salt!!!
great video..i saw this product on amazon long time ago but was not sure if it was safe for cars..thanks for posting this video.. appreciate your time and effort...how many oz did u use in foam cannon..2oz?
Wow, I could've used this product this past weekend....will definitely add to my list of products to keep on hand
major thanks, I live in Indiana. Carpro Multi X did very little to the road salt on my Ram. In all fairness some of the salt has been on there a few weeks.
my car in this demo was wet many days and this reactivates the salt making it even harder to come off, this stuff knocked it out quick you gotta try it
I need to get some of this, good video brother. I’m trying to catch up on your vids. I need this with the RI salt brine. Hope all is well
Interesting characteristics of the bond it leaves behind, looks identical to foaming poly gloss...
yes somewhat similar effect but the Poly gloss offers zero cleaning effect when used stand alone. I used Salt Off Yesterday it was 2o degrees out i wish i made a video as you can see all the salt and dirt in the foam run off all around the car, the stuff does work as advertised.
@@autofanaticcars Yeah, it looks like I'll have to pick some of that up! Thanks for the reply
Although I'm late to the party, thanks for sharing this. Will definitely give it a try.
Very helpful. Needed to figure out how to de salt a car from NY. That salt got in everything. Here in the CA mountains, they use sand to de ice roads. Much better IMO.
Thats why you need a winter beater. I usually go to the quarter wash and spray the salt off, works great.
Did I understand right, 10:1 dilution in the Solo sprayer? Thanks!
I found this DIY recipe online: Mix a solution containing 1 part vinegar to 5 parts water or 1 part hydrochloric acid to 20 parts water. Spread the solution generously; wait several minutes, and neutralize the acid by mopping with a dilute solution of household ammonia and water.
Im in WV and using my ik foamer in the rain to get off some road film, good video and I’ll be getting some of this salt off...
Can I ask you a question. I always wash my car outside and then drive in the garage. Would you recommend using warm water in the pressure washer or cold? Warm being 75-80 degrees F cold being 35-38 degree F. I also wash when it is cold outside like 15-25 degrees F. What is the best for the paintwork? Warm or cold, I would think cold because it is cold outside. Great videos BTW.
Seems like you are putting a lot of faith in this "salt-remover" considering the fact that you normally foam your cars before washing them when there is no salt on your cars. The car obviously has more contaminants/dirt/grit with the salt on it than it would in the warm weather when there is no salt on the roads. That being said, I personally wouldn't trust a marine "salt-remover" on an automotive finish. A marine "salt-remover" might remove the "sea" salt from a boat, not the mixture of chemicals combined with "sand" that municipalities put on the road to melt snow and ice and provide vehicular traction. Just saying that it's risky using this "salt-remover" on your cars when it wasn't designed for what you are using it for. I would at least do a normal wash after the salt removal. IMO. . .
Let me add that my point was regarding the first application when you only mildly rinsed the product and then wiped the fender clean with a MF-cloth. Using it in a foam-cannon and rinsing with a pressure washer would be my preferred application/removal.
did you not watch the video to see how it removed the road salt not sea salt without any scrubbing? no foaming soap could do that i have tried them all and just because it is coming from a Marine brand does not mean it can not be used for cars because fleet companies and many car guys use this stuff in the snow belt. I always owned black cars and the last thing you ever want to do is scrub no matter how careful you can be you will scratch the surface. I have been looking for a product like this for years. I showed 3 methods because many do not have access to water during the winter months as their water lines are turned off. I also prefer the pressure washer application as it seemed to foam the product up a bit and the extra PSI can help remove the caked on salt. been driving all day and car still looks great
@@briand.1694 Checked the manufacturer's website and they recommend the product for keeping cars clear of road salt too. Besides, your car needs to be coated with a decent protective product. I use fusso coat thus the interest in a product that leaves a Teflon like layer behind as it matches Fusso.
What about the dirt
@@autofanaticcars I just got a 2015 Tacoma shipped to me from Virginia to California. Long story short, couldnt find a low mile reasonably priced 2015 in all of California. I opened the hood and noticed there is salt residue or "dust" if you will all over the motor and parts. Should i spray it down with salt off or try something else?
Thank you for demonstrating this great product against salt, my car looks amazing.
glad you tried and like it this stuff works great
PTEF also known as PFAS to the people of MI, specifically Rockford...
I have a idea, your car is very low to the ground, but many cars are not so low to ground. but my idea is to take one of those round donut shaped sprinklers. Spoon a couple spoons of baking soda and car wash into sprinkler. Push sprinkler under car and turn on. The slowly drag sprinkler from the front undercarriage area to the back. Does this sound like a good idea? I don’t have a power washer.
lots of guys with SUV do this it just wont work on any of my cars they are all too low
Been using their electric liquid tape too, good stuff!
Amazing! Thanks.
I just use a pre-rinse with Griots surface wash. Rinse and then wash with that or Honeydew Snow foam. Works well
i always had lots of remaining salt using those soaps never had something work this well and this easy without scrubbing and was excited to show you guys.
should you pre soak the car before applying star bright salt spray?
Can you spray the underbody to nuetralize the underside of a car?.
I love your wheel foam, it works great. About how many cars’ wheels would you say you could clean with 1 gallon of foam with an IK9?
thanks for the video, I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks AF. I knew the car being that loaded with salt was getting a bath.. They don't market saltaway for cars. There is your new product with the 007 and wheel cleaner..
I live in the north east and Canadian winters are brutal with a lot of salt on the roads .. the salt gets everywhere ... the exterior of the car although it is important to keep clean a simple spray or wash without touching the car is the way to go .. with a deep spring clean hand wash on the exterior is most beneficial... you forget to mention that the area that is most affected by the harsh conditions is that of the undercarriage... a thorough desaltation underneath your car is essential to stop rust from forming . If you really care for your car and live where winters are harsh do as I do store the car for winter
Peter Riley I did an NH oil undercoating on my daily winter car as I am guaranteed to have to commute daily in salted roads.
Love the Idea and thanks for tip on the solo sprayer. Any tips on how to clean the under body?
watch my video on the chassis cleaner a few weeks back
So I notice you go ahead and wipe dry after applying this without a "proper" wash... Do you feel this stuff is good enough that it would replace a regular rinseless wash on the times that you need to de-salt your car? Certainly looks nice.
Hi Adam this stuff works amazing however I am no longer using it because of the PTFE which is very toxic to ones health and considering the pandemic this year I did not want to mess around with this anymore. I will be trying some new stuff out soon as out first snow is OTW tonight and roads are salted already. Be careful with PTFE products do your research
these solo sprayers seem great. are they just as good as ik and marolex ?
With winter already here in Canada, this was a real life saver. Is it safe on a ceramic coated car like mine? Thank you.
Wow sorry to hear winter is already in Canada, yes it is safe
Looks like some great stuff. Have you tried Ammo Boost? Just curious how they compare
Thanks for the info .... 🇨🇦. (Lots of salt on the roads up here)
Citrus pre wash does same thing if not better
any Citrus wash has a much higher PH and strips the surface (waxes, sealants and creates more surface tension going forward if not protected) and does not leave any teflon coating as this product, there is no comparison and this is a far better method to get it done you gotta try it
Love your channel.
Any recommendations for winter salt removal (products and methods) on underbody components, suspension, etc.? I use fluid film to protect but would love to find an effective way to flush out the underside once a week.
Thanks!
same stuff in the solo sprayer i did my car the other car as i changed brake pads again for more testing and with the wheels off i cleans all underneath easily.
Does the salt eat away at the paint? I mean without touching the paint with the salt on it, would it still cause damange if you don't get it off?
How do you get the salt off at the bottom of the car?
Is this safe to use for undercarriage cleaning? Nice video by the way! Very helpful
Yes, definitely
@@autofanaticcars thank you!
could one not add a cupful of soap to this product to add foam and then let it dwell? or will it reduce the effects of the product?
Stephen head over to my most recent winter wash video I posted yesterday. Each year I test and experiment with different techniques and found that adding our Auto Fanatic Snow Foam to the Salt solution helps and also prevents any surface protection from being stripped off. Video live on this channel of my new BMW M3 winter wash.
New York life.
Hey did you use 2 ounces in the foam cannon also ? Thanks
How effective is this stuff on the liquid brine used on the roads? How well will this work in a cheaper (harbor freight) pump sprayer. Also will this potentially affect an oil undercoating?
they use that same stuff on NY highways and in this video my car had everything all over it and the Salt Off works amazing. Quick tip is you need to dry the car when done do not let it air dry as the PTFE in this product leaves a film that needs to be buffed flat during the drying phase
Do you regret getting a black car? Im on the edge of getting one?
i do regret this car in black i prefer a non metallic black paint versus the one on my car.
Thanks for the response!
Red like a Ferrari suits this car
have you tried bead maker to help dry ?
You used 2 oz in a 1 liter Solo. How much Starbrite did you use in the foam cannon or foam gun? Thanks.
Would something like this work for salt deposits in the carpet?
Can you and should you spray the salt off solution on the underneath of the vehicle also? Does it work better than soap and water to remove salt?
if you had a means of lifting the vehicle yes lots of guys who have trucks and equipment use it as such on a hoist.
AF, if I get my car up on a ramp could I use this to foam down the undercarriage? I just washed my car for the first time in weeks yesterday and I went through two solo sprayers of pre treatment before the salt started coming off. This seems much more efficient and cost effective than going through two liters of pre treatment solution before washing. Thanks!
yeah i did my underside with it prior to shooting this video.
@@autofanaticcars would you consider doing a dedicated video for washing and protecting the undercarriage during the winter? I think a lot of us living in colder climates would enjoy seeing your process for that.
great tip. I wish you were my neighbor
I love it! How much of the product do you on a wash like that?
i used like 2 oz out of the entire gallon, this is a concentrate so you mix what you need when you need it.
@@autofanaticcars Bought a 22Oz bottle to try out, not easy to find this here in the UK. I will report the results here later. Thanks for the heads up!
@@JWL-UK What were the results?
Does this stuff work on carpets? I have yet to find an effective product for that. So far the best I have been able to use is ONR mixed in vinegar. It will remove most salt on carpets.... but I still find cars where Salt has the toughness of concrete an no chemical I have will even weaken it.
i did my carpets as well yesterday, i just spray them with my Mix of 70/30 Malco Red Thunder, quick scrub with a clean cotton towel and the salt is gone
It’s PTFE brother AF... polytetraflouroethylene... most commonly known as Teflon..
Just wanted to humbly rectify..
God bless..
it is PTEF look at the label online, they can not use the Dupont Teflon designation PTFE due to trademark so this is their own designation
How do we use this with the undercarriage sprayer? Can you recommend a application method to somehow hookup some sort of reservoir inline with the undercarriage sprayer (Water broom) and get underneath the car.
use ramps and use the Solo sprayers to pretreat then use the chassis cleaner this is what i did yesterday
@@autofanaticcars I just asked the same question, sorry... got it now! Thank you for clarification!
Gas station attendant? Lol
What ratio do you use in the solo sprayer?.
Have you ever tried Whips Wax Salt Remover? If so what are your thoughts on it?
Have YOU tried it since this post? If so, how did it work?
What about underneath the car?
Is it still full of salt?
Are you suppose to pre wet the car before using the salt off solution? Can you just rinse with water and let it air dry?
can do either way and yes you can do a quick spray and rinse but pressure washer is recommended this will get most of the salt off not all of it but most
If you use a pressure washer for appliation, do you leave the product on. Or can you rinse the salt brite off with water at the end?
up to you but i want to forewarn you to use another salt remover as this product in this video contains PTFE Teflon which is very dangerous for your health and respiratory function and after the last 12 months you really need to think about these things. I am using a new product soon in an upcoming video
@@autofanaticcars What do you mean? ain't you spraying the chemical on the outside, what's the danger of inhaling this? Does it off-gas when car sits in the garage or something?
Live in NY too and the salt is terrible. Would you recommend this for the under carriage as well?
jack the car up and place on stands and clean it, safely and easily
What about using this in the IK foamers/sprayers? I understand it won't foam like a soap but does it still work?
you sure can use an Ik Sprayer or Foamer to apply, with the foamer you will get some sputtering effect but its fine
Great vídeo like always. You once recommended a brand of gloves that didn’t rip in one of your other videos, could you share a link for those please?
I have a link in my Black Friday 2018 video check that video out when you can
@@autofanaticcars Awesome, thanks. Got them and the weatherproof ones in that same link. Now I can keep my Alfa as clean as yours ;)
I used the salt off today on my 2018 black CT6 which was covered with road salt from the storms this week. My results were not the best. I used 2oz in the solo sprayer and applied as instructed. I used my Kranzle 1122 to power wash is off. It left a light film on the paint. Not sure if my ceramic coating had anything to do with it. I tried the other side of the car with just straight power washing with just water and had the same result. I had to foam the car and clean it again to get the paint free and clear of any residue. So my experience with this was not the best and will not be using it going forward. I did not want to used a microfiber towel on the paint after salt off was used as it may have scratched the paint. Just my opinion.
that film is the PTFE, if you dry it with a good towel its gone, if you let it air dry not so good. try it again and let us know, also not sure if the Si02 coatings act funky with PTFE.
Hey AF, I’m in NE too and like to use a brushless laser wash but it always leaves a slight film. ☹️. Could I use this product if I apply b4 pulling into wash? The pressure from the laser wash is real good. Thoughts?
go for it, im sure it will work maybe do a pretreatment with the Solo sprayer prior
After how long is it still helpful to use
Do you use a specialized laundry detergent for your microfiber towels, or just something like Tide?
Griots Microfiber cleaner, watch my video a while back on how i do it
For my microfiber towels I use ALL Free & Clear, no perfume, no dye.
On Star Brite website it claims pH 10 content, to wear protective clothing, not to breath in the spray, harmful to fish, avoid release into environment etc.. as others stated all that salt is under your ride too, need to get that neutralized so underside stays nice like topside... I see other products without the teflon added for about 20 a gallon less.. if spraying that other product in your demonstration wonder which is helping more?
Simoniz has a car wash product that comes in 5 gallon bucket for like 55 a bucket, car wash supply companies have this, shipping is about the same, but if found dealer, could split up with buds in car club and dilute and get salt off your ride even cheaper around 10 a gallon..
watch my 2023 winter wash video posted two months back on this channel
@@autofanaticcars bought a roll under 4 sprayer and some low pH solution, will use higher to neutralize after then spray wax..
Do you think I could mix the salt off with a foaming wash for a one step spray wash and rinse?
i will be showing new techniques soon for this years winter wash videos so stay tuned.
Thoughts on the Alfa Romeo QV, looking at a few for daily driver.
its my daily driver for NY, I love it.
The Solo Sprayer you are using, is it the 2 liter or 1 liter? I would love to get the 2 liter one but the one you linked has a shipping time of 1 - 2 months! If it is the 2 liter, I'll shop around for it. You said 2 ounces of product for every liter of water correct?
1 Liter nobody has the 2 liter units anywhere the 1 liters are fine and easier to hold and use.
I just tried this today, and it seemed to work ok, but I had to go back over the car with Ultima Waterless Wash to get the rest of the salty/dirt film off. I used the Solo 1L sprayer (never used it before, it's awesome, I want to use it for UWW now, and everything else really) and sprayed about 1/3 of the car, which emptied the sprayer. Then I refilled the sprayer and the hosed off the car, then continued. I think that was too long though and I let it sit too long on one side (the side facing the sun) because now it has horrible streaks that look almost like hard water stains, but wouldn't come off with UWW. I went back later and I was able to rub pretty hard with my thumb and get it to come off, but I was afraid it etched the paint or something. I guess I'll have to scrub it real well when I get to do an actual wash, unless there's a better way to fix it.
Overall, seems pretty good for the wonderful brine they've been pouring on the roads constantly in NJ this winter. I don't think it's a stand alone solution for me, but it's a good start for the heavy salt deposits, followed by a waterless wash, and then spray wax. The waterless wash had far less dirt on the towel than usual, so that's good too. Less risk of scratching.
i found the best application for this is with the foam cannon and pressure washer, used it two nights ago and was touchless i did no scrubbing, after the final rinse i misted the car with Auto Fanatic 007, used my PFM drying towel and the car looks showroom fresh in under 15 minutes. if you have access try the pressure washer method to see if that works best
@@autofanaticcars Thanks for the response. I do have a pressure washer, though it's a pain to drag out from the shed with snow/mud on the ground, but if it saves 30-60 minutes, maybe it's worth it. So you just put this in the foam cannon, spray it down, then take the cannon off and spray it with plain water, then dry? Do you use the same 2oz per liter as in the solo sprayer? I didn't notice you mention the ratio in the video.
In the Griots Boss foam cannon i think i put 4oz of the Salt Off with water, go check out my post on my Instagram a few days ago i show it in action again.
What about the undercarriage of the car? That's where the road salt does the most damage. It causes corrosion and rust from the inside out.
the bottom of the Alfa is fully covered with flat aero panels keeping most of the rock salt and sand away and the entire suspension is aluminum and holds up well. Each year after winter I would throw the car up and do a full deep spring clean i actually have a video last year doing this to my Shelby GT350R it is an all day process of detailing but it preserves the car fully.
What about spraying the undercarriage?
this product work to prevent corrosion?
i can leave it smeared under the car or not?
It does! Just apply as described.
I wonder if you still use this method for salt?
Watch my updated winter wash videos
What is the best tip on dryin the car in cold weather
use a PFM towel and my 007, DONE and it wont freeze up
@@autofanaticcars thank bro u been helping me out with the video and the respond I'm going to buy your wheel cleaner and towels this week ✌
What size orafice should be used with the foam guns
since there is no designation stamped or engraved on these things i have no idea, it is the one out of the box i never changed it.
Can you only do process 1? Or do you have to do all 3
can chose whatever method shown here, this is a demonstration of various ways to use this product
Thank you for your videos! So glad I bought that power-washer spray broom for underbody wash you suggested earlier! Although, there is probably no way to use that for spraying this stuff, is there?
Honestly just a good flushing of fresh water goes a long way towards cleaning off all the salt... remember, salt dissolves in water. The surface afterwards might still look a little dirty, but most of the (harmfull) salt should be gone.
Can you please repeat dilution rare for 1 gallons?, Thanks you
Rewind the video, dude...
Does the teflon coating reduce adherence of salt ? What's its effect ?
yes that is why this product is so great and this is the go to solution for guys with boats and jet skis to protect the hulls. the teflon will reduce the next go around of salt adhesion.
@@autofanaticcars appreciate the reply AF.
What about car chassis ?
Better than ONR ?
Nice
This is all well & good, but now how do you prevent your driveway from icing over with all the water you’ll need to use to do this in the dead of winter? That salt-off soapy water which melts the salt off your car, rendering it ineffective, will also likely melt th salt you might have done on your driveway as well. So now won’t it be difficult to re-salt your driveway, for it to be at all effective, if there is now a Teflon coating on everything that soapy water touched? I’m looking to figure out a way to keep salt off my car this winter without having to resort to running it through a car wash. But running a hose on my driveway in freezing temps seems like it will only cause more and bigger problems for me to have to deal with. This is all just so frustrating. I hate the winter so much 😩😂
my driveway gets lots of sun i never have an ice issue but the soap actually helps it not freeze i have discovered over the years.
@@autofanaticcars Thats really good to know! Thanks so much! I hate mechanical car washes, ruining all my hard work of hand washing all spring/summer/autumn to avoid the swirls and scratches those mechanical car washes cause. But in winter I’m always left feeling like it’s my only option in order not to have that damn salt/brine mixed with grime sitting on my cars paint for months a time 😒
Have you tried Salt-Away? It seems similar.
i did this worked much better, the Salt Away left residue that needed to be wiped and scrubbed off
@@autofanaticcars Thank you for the prompt reply! I'm also seeing some residue on my white Tundra when using Salt-Away (wasn't sure if it was "operator error".) I'll give this stuff a shot!
