they use a LOT of salt in the winter time and no matter how careful you are in washing it off you will NOT get it all

Living in Arizona, my truck is in good health rust-wise due to a low sodium diet.

Same here. My 2005 SUV is rust free.

The dotgov doesn't salt the roads where I live, but I do fish in the Pacific out of Half Moon Bay. I figure salt water is similarly corrosive.

I use this product for a final flush for my motors and trailer.

I keep it in a 2 gallon pump sprayer I got at OSH some time back.

Last year I backed... a wee bit too far down the ramp to retrieve my boat. Rear drums totally immersed. D'oH!

Sprayed them down thoroughly with this when I got home. Had the truck in for work recently, had the mechanic remove the drums and inspect springs and such. 100% A-OK.

It works.

Take a big blob of JB Weld and fabricate a new front holder to the rusted frame. Believe it or not but I used something similar to JB Weld but was a lot stronger and did just that. I jacked the broken piece up into place and globed the material around the two pieces. I let it sit with it still jacked up together for 24 hours. When I let the jack down the parts held together.
I sold the car a year later and the parts were still holding together.

Do you work on guns?

Best,
Rick
