Anyone use Salt Away?

[LeakySeals]

Anyone use Salt Away? I purchased some to put in a cheap 1 gallon pump garden sprayer. Spray it on the undercarriage. Does it work? Am I spraying something that may be corrosive to remove salt? What does remove mean if the instructions say don’t rinse Salt Away off?

Most people use that to flush marine engines that have been ran in saltwater.

I feel the most effective method to remove salt from undercarriage is:
Drive during a rain 'after' the salting season.
You're sure to dilute every nook & cranny that had salt.

During Winter, I make several trips to a Car Wash where I hose it down.

Then there is the topic of 'oil' undercoating and using Cosmoline.

I get our vehicles Krowned every year before winter. I also avoid car washes with underbody flushes during winter as a lot of them used recycled water and you are essentially spraying salt water on the bottom side.

I think spraying the salt off with water works just as well.

Salt away works great for that. Had an old evinrude, hardly ever flushed would get too hot and go into limp mode. A double dose flush of salt away every two or three weeks stopped it from getting too hot.

I have used this a number of times, it works.

Harsh road salts and brines can destroy metal components such as vehicle frames, body panels, and undercarriages. AGS’s Road Salt Neutralizer prevents corrosion caused by damaging road salts and extends the life of your equipment.

So I just sprayed it. Same color, same smell as wet and forget. The stuff I spray on my house to get rid of algae and mold. I swear it’s the same stuff lol.

Interesting. If I sprayed the undercarriage with jus water from a hose, the surface of the rotor would get a quick coat of surface rust. That didn’t happen. Left a white cloudy, but non-rusted coating. Only mixed 2 ounces to 1 gallon.

I use it in the fall before winter and then in the spring when it finally warms up. I also use it once in the middle of summer. Been doing this for years and it seems to work well. I had a 2006 e53 life in Michigan and Wisconsin, 275K miles, little to no rust on the underside. I use a weed sprayer and dilute per instructions.

I rode Jetskis and had a trailer I would back into the ocean. Always used salt away or salt terminator. Not sure if it did anything. I always rinsed everything with it but still found salt residue on stuff and rust would still happen. Maybe helped but not a cure all.
