    Winter protection

    Hey guys I thought I would just share this... If you live in an area where salt is put down to better driving conditions you might try this..

    Salt = very damaging to cars


    but what do you do? Clean it off ASAP? hmm if you live up north thats easier said than done..... When tomorrow it's just going to snow again it just doesnt' seem to make sense... so if found an alternative.


    Bedliner... I know you have seen the truck in the mall with it's sprayed on bedliner right?


    Well you can buy a cheaper spray can and get the same results at walmart.. $5 a can spray down the underside of your car and your ready to go. I did it went on great and actually looks good.. not only that just looking at the way it goes on and how it's held up over the last few months I'm satisfied and have great confidence in it.

    the salt's still there and its still eating. it may look better but it hardly solves the problem. just like waxing a boat, it looks shinnier but unless you scrub and scrub, its not helping any.

    You would want to paint it before any salt got on the under carriage. It would also have to be prepped, cleaned - dirt, rust.

    I have heard that it was not recommended to paint your undercarriage because moisture will still inevitably find cracks to get in and then the paint will hold it there causing the undercarriage to rust out more quickly. I am not saying this is true - but I thought I would pass it on.
