What is used to pre-treat the roads?
Pretreatment may be a wet salt solution (brine) or a dry mixture of sand and salt (abrasive). Salt can be corrosive to your vehicle. It is recommended to wash your car, including the undercarriage following the cold weather periods to reduce the amount of salt accumulation and possibility for corrosion.
