On another forum someone was looking for a salt Neutralizer. Made me start thinking that would be nice to find after the winter we had. I was in NAPA today and found a product made by CRC, it's called Salt Terminator. It was a little pricy but I am going to give it a try. I also sent an e-mail to my state DOT and asked them what they used. Surprisingly they replied. They use a product called Neutro-Wash sold by a Rhomar. This company sells quite a few items of interest.

That's interesting. I go through the Superwash weekly in winter just to try and keep ahead of the salt but it sure doesn't get all of it by any stretch. This stuff the DOT uses, I could picture in a pump sprayer if you could get a good price in volume.
 
Other than the regular washes and being sure to rinse under the truck, I use a sprinkler in the driveway that sprays straight up. I park the truck with the hose coming out under the front and the sprinkler at the rear. I leave it on and every few minutes I drag the hose forward a foot or so until the entire floor and frame gets a good rinsing.
 
Be careful with that stuff.

It's made to Flush Out Boat Engines that are Used in Salt Water. Not really sure on how it would do if it got on a Painted Surface.

That's a pretty good idea there.
