Any tips for neutralizing salt under the vehicle, baking soda and car wash mixture sprayed? I'm all ears:buffing:

When I have used it I dilute into a garden sprayer. Pump it up and start spraying anything showing under the vehicle, let it sit for a while then spray with a hose. If living in areas where driving thru that mess it is up to you the frequency of use but I would use it at least once a week and drench everything underneath wheel wells included.

How do you get under the car? Car lift? Otherwise, sounds difficult. Just my .02

lay on a creeper and spray with the wand from each side, front and back. No under vehicle. When on Drivers side I am spraying across to Pass. side and when I am on Pass. side I am spraying over to Drivers side.

I have slid my sprinkler under the vehicle and let it go for a few minutes. I either slide the sprinkler around the bottom of the vehicle or move the vehicle itself back and forth to get most of the underside rinsed well.

Wish I was able to do this sprinkler-method, down here in the SW quadrant of Ohio, during the Winter months...

I just drive through a touch free wash, most will have the bottom blaster. Drive slowly as you go over it.

Sometimes before hand I'll go into a self wash bay, and pressure wash as best I can and soap it all down. I don't know how well it actually works, but makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Yeah, it's not everyday you see someone spraying under a vehicle with a garden sprayer but it works and I just roll around the vehicle. It's a good resting spot if I need a nap LOL

:iagree:

This is exactly what I do. I've found that by hitting the car and undercarriage with the pressure wash the car is far cleaner after going through the touchless than it would have been without.
 
Crc sells a product called salt terminator that is used a lot in the marine industry. It hooks on your hose and mixes as you spray. I've never used it, but it's supposed to neutralize salt and leave a protective layer. I've heard of it being used to clean undercarriages of trucks

I have just heard of this as well. I work at a marina, and use CRC products often. I have obtained a 20 oz. free sample spray bottle from our salesman. Does anyone have first-hand on this?
 
Just some thoughts: While the use of a garden sprinkler under the car is better than nothing I wonder if it has enough pressure to really remove anything???

I just picked up one of these angle tipped wands for my pressure washer: Angled Tip Lance Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it seems to be well made--needed this one as I have an off brand PW. Karcher and AR both have these types of wands for their PWs.

It seems to me that the Eastwood Salt Neutralizer and Salt Away are targeting road salt and the real culprit out there now is Magnesium Chloride being used in almost every state. I wonder if either of these two products are able to neutralize the MC.

Valugard has a truck and trailer wash soap specifically targeting MC, but haven't had a chance to find a price or if it comes in sizes for the home consumer.
 
I'm interested in this too since I live in Germany where they salt the roads before it snows or before it's supposed to freeze. I have heard of the Neutralizer from Eastwood. I like the idea with the sprinkler. I think you could add a Miracle grow in line canister to your hose to put the neutralizer in too.

Call or email Eastwood with your questions. They have responded to any questions I have asked in a timely manner.
