    My thoughts and prayers to our brothers and sisters in Texas and Oklahoma, and other regions affected by this unseasonable weather. On The news I seen them spraying brine in Texas. This is some nasty stuff. Be sure to take your regular vehicles that have been exposed to the brine and run them through the carwash. Brine if not rinsed off continues to eat away at the metal . Recently I removed some panels from a test I did and threw them on the bench. Three weeks later I was surprised to see how much more the panel rusted by not rinsing off this brine solution. I know this is not a top priority but in a week or two try to get it through the carwash . Best of luck down there.

    same happens after going to Bonneville if you do not thoroughly clean anything that drives/races on the salt
