As some know my LJ is very clean - not hardly any rust anywhere, just a couple bits on the axles. I have already treated it with 3M cavity wax and Amsoil HD metal protect. Of course its not fully covered in protection.
I found out this morning the DOT decided to do their evil thing of spraying mag chloride and rock salt. I wish I could just send them the repair bill. Anyway, from those that deal with salt and rust frequently, how effective is a nice long water bath after driving in that crap? I figured on spraying the whole thing down when I get home, undercarriage, under body, exterior body, engine bay, axles, the whole thing to try and rinse off as much as possible.
I intend to have the LJ be in 'storage' during the winter, but there will be a few days in the winter I need to drive it. Be it for shop repairs/parts or just a weekend day drive so it's not just sitting all winter, which poses its own set of problems.
It really would be irritating to have rust develop because of this crap the state uses. But I cant realistically just put it in storage the entire winter.
Note - I really dont want to use fluid film or wool wax because I'm not intending to daily drive this in the winter like the TJ.
