<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><FONT COLOR="DarkGreen">You mite not realize this but I have been trying to find out about something on that crap for afew years now.Its bad to think you know how to clean and run into something like this as in beening hard to understand why you can't figure out how to remove,no what I mean.Will I found out alittle bit,so take look,I'm going to delete some stuff.
It comes off the paint good but the bare matel parts it a bogger to get off.On chrome rims it comes easy,on polished rims it comes off fairly easy but on anything alumium it looks as tho it eating it up.It looks as tho its pited into the rims,rails but its not.Its all over the rims like frecks a black brownish spot.Sometimes str. HF or degreaser as trouble gettig it off.
Do you what this is?,,,,How do you deal with it==
==Hey Biggy,
I don't think it's salt that is causing the problem(without seeing what you are talking about).
===Understand what your saying (name) but its Liquid salt with something mixed in it I don't know what.==
=Bigboy,, The nasty crap you talking about is called Magnesium Chloride. It is a liquid deicer quite liberally here in Colorado. It attacks aluminum instantly. It leaves the brown spots and even after polishing you can tell where it was. The problem is so bad the the trucking industry went to Washington to complain that their extremely expensive equipment was be ruined. They were basically told to bad, it saves lives, which is more important than your equipment. I do not know of any great solutions to the damage this causes but you may want to try.
He didn't tell how it could be removed,but he gave me a name to Call to see if they Knew of a chemical that would attaCK Magnesium Choride.
I love my P C and the people thats online.I thought for awhile I was the only one that had this problem,with all the trucks some of you wash,looks like they too would have it on the alumi rails if running in the states that use this crap.Will back to the drawing board,if I find out more,I'll let somebody know
