The Ultimate Salt Protection for Your Vehicle

Every winter, millions of vehicles suffer preventable damage from road salt and calcium chloride brine. These corrosive chemicals eat through paint, chrome, rubber seals, brake lines, and undercarriage components. Salts Gone® uses chelation technology to break the bond between sodium and chlorine ions — eliminating salt at a molecular level instead of just rinsing it off the surface.

Effortless application — Spray on with a hose-end sprayer, foam cannon, or spray bottle — no scrubbing required. Works in any temperature.
Safe for all surfaces — pH-neutral formula protects paint, chrome, glass, rubber, undercarriage, engine bay, and wheels. Wax and ceramic coatings stay completely unharmed.
Complete salt elimination — Unlike water that temporarily dissolves salt, Salts Gone® uses chelation to permanently break salt apart at a molecular level, preventing it from ever reforming on your vehicle.

How Salts Gone® Protects Your Vehicle

Our three-part formula targets salt contamination at every level — from the molecular bonds to the surface finish.

Chelating Agents

Our formula bonds to sodium and chlorine ions on contact, breaking salt apart at a molecular level. Once chelated, the salt cannot reform or reattach to your vehicle's surfaces — permanently eliminating the corrosion threat.

Corrosion Inhibitors

Built-in corrosion resistance creates an invisible protective barrier on metal surfaces, safeguarding your undercarriage, brake lines, and frame from future salt damage and oxidation between washes.

Premium Surfactants

Specially designed surfactants lift salt deposits and road grime while leaving a clean, streak-free finish. Safe for clear coat, wax, ceramic coatings, PPF, and vinyl wraps — no extra steps needed.

Why Road Salt Destroys Vehicles — And How to Stop It

Road salt is the single largest contributor to premature vehicle corrosion in North America. Each winter, more than 20 million tons of salt are applied to U.S. roads alone, and every vehicle driving on treated roads absorbs that salt into its most vulnerable components.

The damage isn't always visible. Salt accumulates in wheel wells, undercarriage cavities, brake assemblies, and behind trim panels — areas a standard car wash cannot reach. Over time, this hidden contamination causes rust perforation, brake line failure, electrical corrosion, and structural weakening.

The Hidden Cost of Salt Damage

AAA estimates that road salt causes over $3 billion in vehicle damage annually in the United States. The average vehicle owner spends $300–$500 per year on rust-related repairs — far more than the cost of preventive salt removal with Salts Gone®.

Why Water Alone Isn't Enough

A regular car wash rinses visible salt from your vehicle's exterior, but it doesn't address the molecular-level contamination embedded in metal pores and crevices. When water evaporates, dissolved salt recrystallizes on the surface — restarting the corrosion cycle. Salts Gone® permanently breaks the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine, so salt cannot reform after treatment.

How to Use Salts Gone® on Your Vehicle

  • Hose-end sprayer: Attach our 32 oz sprayer to any garden hose. It automatically mixes at the optimal 1:100 ratio. Spray your entire vehicle including the undercarriage.
  • Foam cannon: Add Salts Gone® concentrate to your foam cannon for thick, clinging coverage that dwells on salt deposits longer.
  • Pressure washer: Use a downstream injector to apply Salts Gone® through your pressure washer for complete undercarriage coverage.
  • Spray bottle: Mix at 1:100 for spot treatment of interior components, engine bays, or battery terminals.

For best results, apply Salts Gone® after every exposure to road salt or brine. Regular use prevents salt buildup before corrosion can begin — protecting your vehicle's value, appearance, and structural integrity for years to come.

Common Questions About Salt Removal for Vehicles

Everything you need to know about protecting your car, truck, or SUV from salt damage.

For best protection, apply Salts Gone® after every significant exposure to road salt or brine — ideally within 24–48 hours. During heavy winter months, weekly application is recommended. Even one treatment provides superior protection compared to water-only washing.
Absolutely not. Salts Gone® is pH-neutral and specifically formulated to be safe for all protective coatings including ceramic, wax, sealants, PPF (paint protection film), and vinyl wraps. It removes only salt — nothing else.
Yes. Salts Gone® works effectively in any temperature. The concentrate won't freeze in the bottle, and the mixed solution remains active even on cold surfaces. You can treat your vehicle right in your driveway during winter.
Yes — and the undercarriage is where it matters most. Use our hose-end sprayer pointed upward at your undercarriage, wheel wells, and suspension components. The formula reaches into every cavity and crevice where salt accumulates.
Car washes rinse visible salt from exterior surfaces but cannot address salt embedded at a molecular level in metal pores, crevices, and undercarriage components. Salts Gone® uses chelation chemistry to permanently break salt's ionic bond, preventing it from ever reforming on your vehicle.
Yes. Salts Gone® is safe for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, and commercial vehicles. It works on all surfaces including paint, clear coat, aluminum, chrome, stainless steel, rubber, glass, and plastic trim.
