All of these products are safe to use on the undercarriage of your vehicle. I tested them here on my paint so the results were easy to see and to prove that these products can be used on your paint without any short term side effects. (Washing your car weekly with vinegar probably isn't the smartest thing to do lol.)

Hey there, glad to hear were the #1 product people ask you about in this category! Got your website message where you sent us the link, thanks! It would seem that most of your question for us is with regards to the corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion inhibitors in our case are essentially amines (there are many types). Very simply, amines provide vast amounts of electrons to the surface. Why is this important? In elementary terms, salt is corrosive because when Na and Cl combine to form salt it's actually very "unstable" and has an extreme desire for electrons. The electrons leaving the metal is what we see as rust or oxidation. Amine corrosion inhibitors are providing huge amounts of electrons back onto the surface. These electrons end up being a sacrificed as new accumulation of salt begins. Naturally there is a threshold of how many sacrificial electrons, vs how many are needed. This buildup of electrons generally happens with repeated use and I would not expect the product to act as a flash rust inhibitor (different product). However that being said, our customers tag us in lots of videos where you can visually see the reversal of rust which is the same products that are inhibiting it. If you have more questions about it would love to explain more in depth how it all works! But due to the nature of the heavy industrial side of the business (oil/gas/chem plants) and aviation side lotssss of companies have done all the fun testing. If you're interested in why the acid products like vinegar work; salt is unique as it has a ph of 7. The basic premise behind using an acid is that if one of the physical characteristics of the salt is altered (its ph in this case) it will not be salt any longer. This is correct. The issue with it lies in exactly the points that you made in your video is that acids are harsh to the common finishes, waxes, polishes etc. you would have on a vehicle. If you have a ph meter in your garage stick it in the concentrate of the Salts Gone. You will see that even the concentrate is ph neutral (stick it in your ph neutral car soap too, usually they are not anywhere close to neutral). The Salts Gone is chelating the salt. Which is basically giving the sodium something it likes more than chlorine and the chlorine something it likes more than sodium. By re-thinking the way it's been attacked in the past is how we came up with the best solution. We love corrosion, customer videos and honesty reviews! Thanks for including us this time around! I'll post a few of those videos we get tagged in.

Sodium salts is chemical name of the ingredient..it means it has a sodium group - most likely to increase solubility..IT IS NOT SALT (NaCl)... so don't worry about the sodium "salts" in the products. (Scientist here)

I feel your the most honest with this review. I've watch reviews on these salt removal products and most reviews I have seen is being used then chasing after with a detail spray afterwards as if the salt removal products didn't remove100% of the salt grime. I just wash with a soft micro mitt and warm water. Warm water will help break down the salt detergent. Then I chase it with a spray retailer to add glass and protection. Worked for me. I'm pretty particular when cleaning I get everywhere underneath and paintwork.

Hey My cousin has been washing all his vehicles ( he has like 7 vehicles) undercarriages every spring summer. Never really treated them with anything like Fluid Film. They were pretty much rot or rust out free till he passed. I believe washing tremendously helped out. I’ve used CRC salt remover on my trucks during washing and prior to Fluid Film application or any other rust prevention product.

@@Ram14250 if you're using car wash soap and rinsing with plenty of water there probably isn't much of an advantage. I've never had an issue with my vehicle's paint because of salt exposure. Proper undercoating will keep the salt from becoming an issue with the undercarriage as well. Like it said in the video. I don't see huge advantages to using these products if you're using an undercoating.

Bilt-Hamber Touchless or Auto-foam is a GREAT pre-wash on salty and mucky cars for the winter. I use an IK Foam Pro 12 w/ 6-8 oz of Bilt-Hamber and 1 gallon of water and it melts away a big amount of the "crap" on the car. I'd pre-treat before going into a touch-free carwash and while it's not 100% removed (contact wash is the only way to achieve this) but if you do this and then go home and do a rinseless wash you'll have a great experience because it's fairly clean at that point👍👍

I haven't. It's not worth the aggravation for me. I did this video a couple of years ago on setting up the cam timing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYKzkohnmKqKjNU $650 for the cams, another $230 for valve springs, another $200+ for an injector upgrade, $179 for a higher output fuel pump, & the required tuning for $500+. That's $1800 total just for the cams. When you're done, the car is going to make 280-290 at the wheels with all the bolt ons, (LTs, O/R X, Throttle body & Plenum). Way too much $ and work to make less than 300 hp while giving up drivability, and low end power.

Car wash soap will remove salt but won’t actually remove the salt. It will be noticeably cleaner obviously because you’re washing the built up salt off but the salt that’s chemically attached to the vehicle has not been neutralized.

I dont see the point in these salt removal products at all, especially with using it on the painted outside surface of the car..you want to remove salt, just wash it like you normally would with car wash soap and a sponge..takes less effort and way cheaper. As far as washing the undercarriage, if you have access to hot water and a garden hose thats the easiest way to rinse salt away. I do it weekly in the winter just because i hate having dried salt buildup on the underside of my truck. Attach the hose to my laundry sink in the basement and run the hose out the window to my driveway..only downside is having to reapply fluid film a couple times throughout the winter as it usually washes some of it away.
