Winter salt on roads

Wsurf, WHERE in the cleveland area will you be living, or are you in Cleveland itself? Just curious...



The 'snow belt' is only on the east side of cleveland, and a bit of the southeast. The difference in snow from the west side to the east is often mindboggling. It will be a light dust of snow on the west side sometimes and a foot on the east... Oh well, I guess it makes up for the fact that people that live on the east side don't have to stare into the sun to and from work on the way to the city and west sider's do!

yesterday [tues] i had my truck rust proofed ar krown rust control. it is a thin runny yellowey golden [use to be pinkish but looks like the formula has changed a bit]. and next year this time it will be sprayed again, and the year after, and every year i own the truck it will be sprayed. [it's still dripping out on the street right now eh:-laf]



if it don't drip, it ain't worth shat as far as i am conserned. i ain't ever spraying that rubbery tar asphault type stuff on my truck, even if it was free...

In Montana some of the better drive in car washes spray under the rig though nozzles built into the floor just for the purpose of removing ice melter.

Here they use mag chloride on the roads, makes salt look like WD-40 as far as corrosion goes.

Look around I'll bet you can find a car wash that does the underneath in your new area also.

Sure beats laying on the wet floor of a wash bay when it's cold out.
