Winter Road Salt
Tried a new trick today, misted the vehicle with Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz before washing the vehicle. Let it get soaked into the crud, than foamed the vehicle followed by a wash. Really added some slickness which I wanted since I would be removing road salt from the winterized roads.

Re: Winter Road Salt
interesting idea...foamed with foam gun or cannon?

Re: Winter Road Salt
Personally, I've found that only pre treating with a salt emulsifier allows me to avoid dragging salt across the paint during a wash. But I also dont get many days where I can drag a hose out and do a full wash during the winter as well. Typically doing RW/WW in the garage.

what are you using for a salt emulsifier? take the car to the coin op pressure washer to do the heavy stuff and the wheel wells before doing the waterless thats what i do, next time i might just bring the waterless to the coin op place and wipe it down quick right there

Winter Road Salt
Foam Gun. Unfortunately I do not have a pressure washer, yet.
Also, I'm going to mix Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash with Auto Bathe and/or spray down the vehicle with Uber Rinseless in lieu of the Detail Spritz when I get in Uber Rinseless.

And it cost $5 to wash the salt and dirt off, and ˘20 to bring a gallon (diluted in my case D114) waterless wash solution.

Whip's Wax. Hopefully PBMG will carry it one day. Doesn't harm your LSP. Sometimes I'll go to the coin op and spray it with WW then pressure wash clean. Then I'll go home and do RW in my garage with all the salt off my car.

I've been eyeballing that road salt remover.
I basically do your routine - blast the car at the coin op and then take it home for the presoak and then RW. I can't say -- in my experience -- that not using a road salt remover is unsafe. I've been blasting my car at the coin op and doing the presoak/RW for a few years now and haven't noticed any swirling doing this. I have been using 840-1100 GSM towels and basically doing a single wipe with a single quarter on my DD. I use a lot of towels, but I think it saves the paint.

Re: Winter Road Salt
I do something similar - spray the car with waterless wash and let it sit - then hit it with a power washer and then wash with a rinseless or reg wash. Works very well and removes a lot of the salt before a wash mitt touches the car.
Yes this is using more product and thus more expensive too but it's only needed a few times a year.
