Default Re: Road Salt Damage_(for those chemists out there)

i was going to post up some pics of the car covered in salt to show what i meant but it rained the other day...tho it cleared up later on and so i gave it a wash on that same day...i usually wait until the weekends (weekly or biweekly) but it was just that badly full of salt and not to mention all the advice and info i got from you guys and some stating that they even wash theirs every two or three days because of the salt_lol

well at least thats one state thinking in the public works department!...im sure it doesnt hurt the environment as badly either...but it's probably a much more expensive approach > what do they have to go around with sprayers instead of the traditional dumps?
