I used to live in a place that switched from salt to brine, and brine is much, much gentler on cars. They used to last maybe 5 years, and now 10-15 before the rust gets them is much more common
- BlueTemplar 3y agoBut brine is just water with a lot of salt ??
- monknomo 3y agoI know, right? I don't really understand it, but my guess is that the salt crystals (big, pea sized rocks) are more readily stuck into cavities in the body and frames and they sit there forever, where the brine washes off. I also wonder if the brine is more efficient and uses less salt? No knowledge, just anecdata here
- NortySpock 3y agoMight be easier running the connectors for water sprayers rather than gravel coming out of a chute with a spinning disk to scatter the grains of salt? Not an expert either :)
