Winter Salt / Northern thread
Hi! I'm new here. I'm from Montreal, Canada and bought a 2002 TJ in May
2006. Every single day I give thanks to the Jeep Gods for this ride. Summer, Snow, fall, all the seasons are heightened by this vehicle. Its like a drug. Anyways, I'm obsessed with salt on the roads and even though I hose it down when I come home, the next morning there's residue. I taste my Jeep. I'm so scared it will rust like crazy. The previous owner treated it every year, as did I this fall, but I'm still freaking out. I've had 6 or 8 cars in my life, but I've never cared more..... |
Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
I think a good coat of wax in the fall helps as well as keeping the
vehicle frozen. What I mean by that is the thawing and melting that happens in a heated garage. I think that eats them more than anything.

Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
The best you can do, is to oil spray it
every year. Wax in the fall, And wash the salt off often. Don't let it build up. Keeping it clean goes a long way. If you leave the carpets in it. I'd make sure to remove it and wash the carpets in the spring. You'd be surprised on the layer of salt the collects under the carpet over a winter. Me, I removed the carpets immediately after buying mine new, never to re install. I also wash the engine compartment every spring using simply green. That being said. The only "real" way to preserve it, is to park it during the winter and buy a winter beater :-) I love winter but also hate the fricken salt! Cheers Frank Thoth1126@gmail.com wrote: > Hi!

Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
Thanks guys. I've waxed it twice since May. (3 months ago and last
Sunday). But yeah the heated garage would subject it to extra corrosion. I'll take the carpets out in the spring. Its really in good shape. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1165346866 |

Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
Mike is right about the wax. Any vehicle I ever really cared about got
a thick coat of good quality paste wax in the fall. Buff it lightly in the fall and buff it to a nice finish in the spring. Be sure to wax all the paint including inside the doors and under the hood. He is also right about the heated garage, your Jeep's worst enemy. When I lived in Montreal, I parked outdoors at work instead of underground. It made a big difference because they use a lot of salt in that city every winter. I swear by Krown rustproofing. If you get it Krown treated, you can remove the excess oil from the paint using diluted Sunlight dish soap. You can also buy Krown spray bombs at Home hardware, but if you get it done at the Krown shop, give them a few bucks and they will give you a couple of spray cans. I also agree with FrankW. You would be wise to remove the carpets in the winter. Otherwise, you can use the trough floormats but be sure to empty them with a sponge as they fill up (leave the sponge in the trough). When I get into a vehicle with lots of slush on my boots, I always hang my feet out the door and bang my feet together before putting them on the mat. Merrill Thoth1126@gmail.com wrote: > Hi!
