Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
 

Actually Quebec uses a lot less salt than Ontario.
This is why they want to make studded tires mandatory in Quebec.
FYI :-)
I have a cottage near Manawaki and most all secondary roads are sanded

The worst man. My indoor garage protects the Jeep from Theft, and I
wake up and get in and its warm. I'll rust check it next fall, and all
winter I'll wash it down every time I go out. Get rid of that salt.

We digress!

No Earle, I gave up long ago. Women just don't seem to get it when it
comes to vehicle maintainance. However, there are exceptions.

I was not impressed with rust check, but I am prepared to give it
another try.

One more thing.

You only need to use your block heater for an hour or two in the
morning. If you leave it plugged in all night with salt on the hood, it
will rust out everything in front of the firewall.
