SALT WASH

Salt is one of the most destructive forces a vehicle faces. Whether it's road salt from winter driving, salt spray from coastal environments, or brine from marine use, salt accelerates corrosion, eats through paint, and damages metal surfaces faster than almost anything else. Salt Wash is specifically formulated to neutralize and remove salt contamination safely and completely — protecting your vehicle where a regular car wash soap simply can't.

At Chicago Jax Wax, we carry Salt Wash for our customers who drive in winter conditions, live near the coast, or use their vehicles on or near the water. It's also the go-to wash for boats, trailers, and marine equipment after every outing. One thorough wash with Salt Wash after salt exposure can dramatically extend the life of your paint, undercarriage, and metal components.

Why Salt Wash Is Different

• Neutralizes salt contamination — doesn't just rinse salt away, actively neutralizes the corrosive compounds that cause long-term damage
• Safe on paint, metal, rubber & plastic — gentle enough for all vehicle surfaces including undercarriage and wheel wells
• Ideal for winter driving — removes road salt and brine before it can penetrate and corrode metal surfaces
• Marine-safe formula — perfect for boats, jet skis, trailers, and any equipment exposed to saltwater
• Works in foam cannon or bucket wash — versatile for any wash setup

How to Use

1. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with fresh water to remove loose salt and debris
2. Mix Salt Wash in your foam cannon or wash bucket per label directions
3. Apply generously to all surfaces, paying special attention to the undercarriage, wheel wells, and lower panels where salt accumulates
4. Allow to dwell briefly to neutralize salt deposits
5. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water from top to bottom
6. Dry with a clean microfiber towel

Pro tip: After any winter drive or saltwater exposure, rinse the vehicle as soon as possible and follow up with Salt Wash. The longer salt sits on metal surfaces, the more damage it causes. Make it a habit and your vehicle will thank you for years.
