!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
This article needs to be brought back, but with a few tips on minimizing salt damage for a classic. For example, I just recently read about adding Baking Soda to your wash bucket to help neutralize the salt... do they even still use actual salt? What IS that crap they spray on the roads now? Ah ha - Liquid Calcium Chloride, Liquid Magnesium Chloride...
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Oh snap. What are we supposed to do about that stuff?
I try to avoid it, but every now and then I need to drive my '73 on salty roads. I'm also in the middle of a bunch of bodywork, so what can I do extra to protect the lower metal?

I have no issue with using my car in the snow if I can use my car in the snow. It's not exactly the most capable car in certain conditions. For light snow though, some sand bags in the trunk and some good tires do the trick. As for salt (or the chemical equivalent) I just make sure to give the undercarriage a good wash at least once a week. I haven't had any rust problems so far.

Interesting stuff. It goes on like a fog. I wonder how it works on a frame that already has a pretty good surface rust.

Yeah, my '73 Buick is pretty heavy and has no problems driving it in the snow. It was my DD for about 10 years (hence why I'm doing all this bodywork now...), fantastic car in the snow thanks to the weight.

Stops rust as it is. I do it every year and the rust I had when I started hasnt changed.

Wow, that's great. I assume you are in Canada (based on their website). Do you just fog it every year? Do you get into all the door panels and inside the fenders like they show in their demo video?

oh yes, every inch of it. Drilled holes allow easy access inside the doors and fenders and then just plug them with a plastic cap when you're done. Fantastic stuff, I do my lawn mowers and snowblower as well. Rust and seized bolts are no longer an issue. My girlfriend has driven her '67 cutlass all winter through the salt for the last 5 years with confidence it won't rust.

I think they have a handful of locations in the US, but Krown is mainly Canada. There's one near Queensbury NY, and that's about it for this state. Ziebart's around, but they've got a mixed reputation to say the least.
