- Today, we put Eastwood Road Salt/Brine Neutralizer through the Apex Detail Review Process! 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.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how damn good Brisey is presenting these days. The new signage, the desk, the flowers, the shirt. Level up.
Always trying ways to improve. Thanks!
@@apexdetail85 How do we get that shirt? It looks great. Do you have Polo shirts, that is my uniform of the Day. Thanks Professor for all you do.
Mid-Atlantic folks are going to need this after Wednesday/Thursday
Yes we will. Estimates are as much as 20+ inches in some areas and PennDot is well stocked with salt and just because the snow will go away the rust maker will linger for days after.
I live in Colorado and the state started using brine a few years ago. I plow in the winter and the brine is very hard on our equipment. We have used a product called “salt lick” from hotsy. But it is pretty harsh. Might have to give this a try. Thanks Brian.
Spending time at my in-laws in MN makes me appreciate this video even though we live on the gulf coast. I’ve seen the rotting floor boards and fender wells of trucks. Very informative video. As always, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
This is great information and resource for us living north of the border. Having the right products to clean the underside and other surfaces of our vehicles is needed this time of the year. Thanks Brian. (From Calgary, Alberta)
I'm so glad I moved to Florida. Thinking back to when I lived in N.J. I used to get an undercoating to protect your undercarriage from the salt they used to lay on the roads, it worked well enough as I always took my cars through tunnel washers and they had that undercarriage wash.
I've been looking for a product like this. Thanks for sharing it with us.
In NJ not looking forward to shoveling tomorrow and Thursday. Temps will be too cold to even rinse crap off for days! Definitely looking for something like this in near future. Thanks Brian!
Love the info as always! Stay safe, I’m getting that storm too.
Living in snowy Minnesota, ill use a lot of this.. thanks for the heads up!!
Great video buddy tfs
Nice Sunny California here thx for the video Brian
The road crews in S.W. Pa. are starting to pretreat the roads in a couple of hours. Not looking forward to alot of snow . Thx buddy on another great video
Have fun with the snow B!
Interesting product, never used something like this before. I do live on the west coast though, we don't nearly as much salt on our road as Eastern Canada
Thanks Brian I appreciate this tip ✊
awesome video and product review good friend. that product is gold 4 us east coast winters.i c once again no1 had the sac 2 leave their name in neg comment.seriouly get a set or how about not watching...hats off 2 Brain 4 who he is,the amazing knowledge he passes along,over all great guy and great friend.b well good friend give Jr my best..
Great video! Thanks!
Great to know about it since my second son and my two brothers live in the states.
Come visit and stop by if you ever get to Pa.
@@apexdetail85 Thanks, I was planning to get trained by you since you offered it several times. I was planning for summer 2020 but Coronavirus hit. I have been working mostly remotely from home but when we kept watching news from around the world how it was spreading we planned for everyone at the office to work remotely. Being diabetic it was riskier too. Hopefully once everything comes to "normal" I will call you to arrange. Pennsylvania is one of the few states I haven't been and looking forward to. Thanks again! Really appreciate it.
Have always used a product called Salt-Away but applied it using a pressure washer with a vacuum port and a wand with a 90 degree angle for washing the entire undercarriage. You’re applying the solution as you blast the major salt away. Best to only rinse the painted surface and leave the solution on the undercarriage to fight salt. Cleveland winters are nasty.
Thanks. This is something I can use. We're getting a snow storm here. I mean rain.
Your not kidding about the salt and the chemical pretreatment that they put down on the roads I'm from the north east too and it's a real pain in the%&&%$$#$@#.
I always wondered how to remove it without causing any paint damage Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Great video Brian 📹 👍 👏...
2nd I guess ?
Lol either way thank you Brian for all the great videos this year. Made 2020 better with all that’s happening 🙏
Thanks! Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the great tip.
I feel like a newb from the south as I had no idea this product even existed. I do see this as being a valuable marketing tool!
Every fall, i treat the undercarriage with a rust preventative like LPS 3. It makes like a waxy film when it dries. Ill also spray Fluid Film inside the rocker panels, door panels, and any pinch welds.
Great timing Brian with the local weather forecast. Gonna have to do some research on this and similar products. Any concerns using on ceramic coatings. Recently purchased an undercarriage pressure washer adapter similar to yours, great investment to remove salt, mud and sand.
I agree, Brian! There has got to be a better solution to clearing roadways other than the contaminants the DOT’s put down. I think some snow in the winter makes it kinda nice, especially for the kids at Christmas. But I never look forward to the days of continuous mess that’s created in the aftermath.
When I worked for a school board we used to get these little packets of green liquid that were meant to be added to a mop bucket for neutralizing salt that dried on floors. It worked very well.I used to mix one packet into 2 gallons of water and spray and rinse my truck. Wish I could remember what it was called.
Great channel Brian , it’s a shame we don’t get everything you review over here in the uk
Stay safe Phil from Oxford
I'm going to try and import some. North east England 🇬🇧 👌
Good to know! 👍👍👍👍
Big storm coming here too!
Anything made by the Eastwood company u can take it to the 🏦. I sprayed the entire floor pan & inside all the doors/rockers with fluid film. We used to apply the liquid de icing agent on the highways, it is nasty stuff.
Glad I don’t have to deal with that where I live!
Finally!!!! :) Great video. I don't have running water in my garage. I have a works sprayer and I built my own detail keg and run about 120psi. Is that enough for a good rinse prior to respraying with ADG Fuzion as additional lube for my rinseless wash process?
Did you see 303’s new winter wash additive? It’s formulated to help with soap and prevent rust.
when I lived in PA we used hot water pressure washers to rinse away the calcium chloride brine they put on the roads. Hot water will re-dissolve the dried on brine. Not ideal for most people since hot water pressure washers are expensive. But if you want to go a chemical free route it's an option.
I found out 303 has a similar product that you can just add to your car wash soap. You can even use it as a rinsless or waterless wash. I would probably add onr for lubricity but im thinking about buying it.
Living in sunny California, ill never use this, but that a great produce review tho
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
Don’t drive your vehicle on the ocean beach.
Brian, great video! On that Rubicon, like mine, how do you paint correct the inboard side of those front fenders? I can’t think of what to use in those crevasses.
I was really waiting for this video on how to remove salt safely. Thank you so much! Here in Wisconsin its a white snow and salt nightmare. Absolutely hate it. By the way, good luck with your 12+ inches snow storm coming your way. Good grief.
I am ready...the Kubota is fueled up!!
What makes our state even more fun is the use of sand mixed with salt. So not only salt damage, but it’s exaggerated through the sand blasting of painted surfaces and the undercarriage.
@@robertduffner6346 that's sad
I have been using Star Bright Salt Off with great results. It’s designed for removing salt water from boats, trailers, trucks and equipment. I wonder how the two products compare?
Move to Australia B it pretty much snows no where. Just have to deal with the heat.
Brian, how would you prep a jeep with the standard black top that has a couple of scratches (you can see white, so pretty good scratch) before putting on a ceramic or graphene coating? Of course this jeep has a painted top, so just using as an example. As always--thanks!
Your topic is very timely. Is this type of product suitable for carpets? It seems like road salt doesn’t care if you have Weathertec floor mats or not...the ‘salt’ still gets into the carpet and it’s hell trying to get it out.
Yes...20:1 Dilution.
I wanna see what this stuff does on top of the sealants/waxes we’re using 🤓 TEST TIME 🤓😎😎
hi Brian I would like to know does it work( and is it safe) on the interior carpet to loosen salt. love the new look
Yes...20:1 dilution ratio.
Hey Brian, what compound would u use to remove pinstripes? My dad got some good scratches on his truck from driving through an orchard. I ran my fingernail across it, it doesn’t necessarily catch but u can feel that it’s there.
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷

Hmmm wonder if I can get something like it in Canada..
So just wondering if we don't pre-treat with this and just wash our car are we removing the salt or is this a necessity?
Ahhh thought this was going to be a post wash treatment, not sure what this offers over a regular TFR?
How does this compare to "Salts Gone"? Salts Gone claims to not need a rinse afterwards. Could you do a review on it and would it be ok to spray on and leave on just to keep up in the winter if I can't do a wash?
So I just received the product, Is this ok to use on maintenance vehicles, will it strip any wax or sealant?
I use a product called salt-a-way and it dilutes 1:250. Much more cost effective than the Eastwood product.
I have been using that too. Spray - wait - rinse and walk away. I also dilute it to get white salt stains off interior carpets. It works on leather boots too. Two thumbs up. I didn't know about Eastwood. I feel a challenge coming up??
Brian, how do you arrange for vehicle pickup in snowstorms? Do you have to reschedule details on Corvettes, etc? Thanks.
We arrange to have them delivered earlier. And picked up later. I am in no hurry to ship them out.
@@apexdetail85 not sure if you’ve mentioned it before but how many sq. ft. is your shop?
Is this safe to use on vehicles that have PPF applied to front clip?
I did a bunch of research on using these products a couple years ago. I found a good study done by the Ohio DOT. The take away I got from reading the entire article was most of these products are effective neutralizing salt, however, the recommended dilution rates have to be increased significantly to attain effectiveness, thus increasing cost per application.
At the time of the study (2014), Salt Away was the best performer, but that may not be true today. I purchased Salt Away and diluted per the studies recommendations. My winter routine when I can't do a driveway contact wash is to go to a local manual car wash, and presoak my vehicle with the salt eliminator using my Marolex sprayer. I then do the manual wash/rinse, including undercarriage. The commercial car wash is not the best method for removing road film, but along with the salt elimimator it helps with the salt removal, and most of the winter road crud.
Also, I do an annual Krown rust proofing respray of my under carriage in the Fall, followed by a Spring wheels off undercarriage deep cleaning, and repainting of any suspension components that are showing rust. It's a never ending battle living in the rust belt.....
Here's the link to the Ohio DOT study: www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Planning/SPR/Research/reportsandplans/Reports/2014/Materials/134718_FR.pdf
LoL........you beat me to it.....! See my in depth post above with additional links and a "Slide-Show" presentation of the same study!!!!!!
thoughts on fluid film?
So what exactly is in this that will neutralize salt?
Would this work in a foam gun (no actual foam added, just this stuff perhaps diluted with water to an appropriate level) to ease cleaning the undercarriage?
Yes.
Anyone know if this Eastwood product is similar to Ammo NYC Winter Boost Wash?
Bri, can you just use this as a quick rinse. Then do a full wash on a warmer day? BTW, you do a review and it sells out. Lol
Brian, would you recommend diluting this concentrate with distilled water? Thank you in advance for your experienced reply!
Absolutely
@@apexdetail85 Thank you! This will be of great help after navigating Lancaster's roads, especially after yesterday's snowfall. Cheers!
Hi there. Do you have any products that you recommend to prevent it from rust and corrosion prior to winter? I've heard of fluid film
That is an option... yes.
WIll this remove any coatings and do you need to wash it with soap or just rinse. THinking this would be good when I go to the car wash during the winter to remove the salt and brine
I would treat everything but a coating with it.
What is the pH of this product, and will it degrade waxes and/or sealants? Could it be used as a prespray prior to a rinseless wash with ONR?
Leaning acidic. Safe for clear.. but in time will degrade sealants.
Hi. What if we mix this into the foam canon with Bilt H, will the resultat be simmilar? Best regards Kenneth from Norway
Yes.. just keep it away from coated surfaces.
So if I’m already going to wash my car and take off the salt why would I pre-treat it with this? I’m from Texas so will never need it but just wondering
Pre treat with this...yes.
I think he is wondering why use this if we are already going to wash it. Does a normal wash not remove the salt good, enough, etc? Also wondering
Safe on coatings ?
Why do you need to use this neutralizer if you can use a pressure washer to blast the salt off the vehicle?
Brian, I'm really liking that undercarriage sprayer but I don't think the wheels on it would fit under our C7 side skirts?
No... I drive up on decking... then it fits.
@@apexdetail85 I see, good idea!
Brian, You need to build a wash bay. You are exposing yourself to the hot sun in the summer and cold in the winter. Not good for your skin with too much UV from the sun then in the cold weather and cold water on your hands and joints. That kind of exposure will catch up with you. You work hard but making easier on yourself is important. Building a wash bay will make a good video.
Fighting tar, salt is the easy bit. Yeah, did not listen yet. 🤗
Is it safe for cars with ceramic coating?
I would use it on everything but a coating.
is this re recommended for ceramic coated cars?
I would Keep it off a coating.
Will it weaken or remove coatings like TLC or QPON 2.0?
Over time ... yes. Treat everything but coated areas
Thank you for the response.
@@apexdetail85 exactly the response I was looking for.
Hi Brian, I hope you don't mind me posting this detailed info: I've been researching this subject for many years. Some people think an alkaline degreaser will neutralize salts but Chemically speaking, an alkaline degreaser will NOT neutralize chlorides/salts. Only acids or other proprietary mixes will neutralize salts/chlorides.... There was a very detailed study about Salt Neutralizers I'd like to share with everyone:
Google:
"Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Salt Neutralizers for Washing
Snow and Ice Equipment"
Here is the 38pg. abridged report for Ohio DOT that does mention the Eastwood product that is a 5% Sulfamic Acid:

Also, I found a very safe Industrial no-rinse salt-neutralizer called Chlor-Rid that uses a proprietory formula. The rep. I spoke to wouldn't even confirm if it was an acid, but I believe it's probably a buffered/inhibited acid formulation, however they state it's a no-rinse and will not harm any type of paints including car-paint. 1:100 dilution. 1 gal makes 100gals of finished spray applied thru a pressure-washer for fastest coverage.....
chlor-rid.com/chlorrid/index.php
There was a seller on Amazon who was selling the 1gal. for $80 but no longer, only the 5gal on Amazon. Maybe it's also for sale on Ebay, or Google "Chlor Rid 1gal." to see the distributors who sell it, or call Chlor-Rid. I saw these guys selling it by 1 gal. also......it'll last a long time. If you read about it, it's a technology that surpasses regular salt netralizers, as i'ts formulated to be used in industrial prep-coatings for bridges, ocean platforms, ect......: www.constructionsupplysourcing.com/shop/chlorrid/chlorrid-5-gallons/
i dunno man... looks snakeoil to me. (why not just pure water.)
rather use tannin water solution -convert iron and rust to black surface, which really will slow down the corrosion process.... basically rust converter principle.
carmakers road salt tests are made at high humidity+brine+cycling temperatures....therefore you should not put car in garage during winter.
where car heats the garage and snow -dirt melts.
chemical reactions speed increases with temperature in general !
Everything is “ snake oil” lol.
