What is this chemical? The only way to deal with salt is to rinse with water. There is no other chemical than water to deal with salt.

Beats me. There is something in the under body wash that "they say" helps protect the surface after the salt is washed off. Could just be soap and water as for as I know. Whatever it is, it works.

It's probably a surfactant to help wash the salt off and some sort of spray-on 'wax'.

I do the same thing with my cars in the Chicago winter, at least twice a month they get taken through the least expensive touchless car wash that will do an undercarriage wash.

Where in Ohio are you? Did she buy that hoopty at the PA border because it failed their state inspection?

N.E. Ohio about an hour from Cleveland. Of course she said she knew about it....I guess that means it's ok? The tranny/tranny mount is bolted to this on the back.

Works for me.
That and a periodic blasting with an engine cleaning gun sucking from a can of nice, waxy Thompson's Water Seal.
I know it's a misapplication, but we can't get Krown in the states.

Indeed. And in the summer in the midwest, we get the lovely monsoon season!
Floods, mud, mold, and mosquitos.
