Neutralize road salt before it starts eating away at your car's metal
Neutralizes salt's corrosive film
Won't harm painted or finished surfaces
1-gallon concentrate makes 21+ gallons of neutralizer
Spray Eastwood's Road Salt Neutralizer up under your car at the end of the day after driving through road salt, brine and ice melt.
During the winter months, vehicles are blasted by road salt, brine & ice melt causing metal parts and body panels to rust and corrode. Eastwood Road Salt Neutralizer is a blend of inorganic acids, corrosion inhibitors and penetrants that neutralize the corrosive film left behind from salt & ice melters without harming painted or finished surfaces. To use simply mix 6 oz of Eastwood Road Salt Neutralizer with 1 gallon of warm water, spray or sponge on the solution and five minutes later hose off. One gallon of concentrate makes more than 21 gallons of Neutralizer. Ideal for any metal substrate exposed to road salt.
What's Included
1 gallon of concentrate. Dilute to make 21 gallons of neutralizer.
Safety Information
Always follow all instructions and warnings and wear proper eye, ear, skin and respiratory protection. When using chemicals always consult MSDS and product data sheets for proper safety precautions.

Road Salt NeutralizerI mixed some of this product with a gallon of water and sprayed it allover the engine compartment, then I power washed it. In Maine we use plenty of road salt and after the winter the engine compartment had a solid film on it. After the treatment all components were free of salt residue and it pretty much looked like new.

Road Salt Neutralizerjust received the product and applied as soon as it arrived so we could put salt equipment away. So far so good we will see next winter when we start to salt how well it works. Web site thumbs down, customer service thumbs up. product arrived as expected.

Works Great!We bought this to help with the upkeep of our fleet of trucks, especially after plowing snow. It works as described, the salt residue and caked on salt comes right off as you spray the product on. We have had no residual salt on the trucks after rinsing and washing them when using this product.

Container issues.Two bottles were cracked and leaking in the bag on arrival. Box was intact. 1/2 of the contents lost. Not a great start. Given the price, I’m disappointed. Not sure if the product works yet.

Shop another store for this kind of product.Bottle was leaking when I received it and the box was soaked through. I emailed Eastwood and never received a reply. Last time I will purchase anything from Eastwood.
Yes, the Eastwood Road Salt Neutralizer is effective against magnesium chloride. It is specifically formulated to neutralize the chemicals associated with road treatments, including magnesium chloride, which tend to coat the undercarriage of vehicles.

Asked by: PJB12
Yes, after applying Eastwood's Road Salt Neutralizer, it is recommended to rinse it off. The instructions specify that you should mix 6 oz of the neutralizer with 1 gallon of warm water, spray or sponge the solution onto the surface, and then rinse it off with water after five minutes. This ensures the neutralizer effectively removes the corrosive film without leaving any residue

Does this product freeze? I'm concerned about my brakes freezing in the winter months. I typically have about 3 months of below 32*.
