I was just wondering if anyone here uses 'Salt-Away' or 'Salt-Off' for rinsing vehicles when exposed to extremely salty environments?

What's a detail?
Never heard of it.... Do you have trouble rinsing it off otherwise?

I heard of some folks using it by me, but if your using clean water to wash and then rinsing then I don't see using any of these. But if your using water that's is from the sea or salted then you will need a water tank ( 20 gallons ) for washing and rinsing at home.

Another way to wash is using ONR with a few gallons of clean bottle water for washing and rinsing your ride.

It completely dissolves salt from any surface unlike just water for a quick rinse.
I've been using it alot lately being we are right on the ocean on A1A.
I got some in Boater's World.

Regular washing with a pH neutral soap will completely remove salt residues so I am slightly intrigued why a product would be needed to dissolve salt when soap and water completely removes it.

For a quick rinse that acts like a complete wash (removing all the salt), without breaking out the soap, buckets, mitt and etc.
Here, you can have a just washed bike or vehicle ride it one mile up the coast and it will be completely covered in a fine mist of salt from head to toe due to the salty air.
I find this alot with peoples bikes I detail especially during events when they ride and stay by the beach.
This type stuff really works and saves you alot of back breaking effort not having to wash it all over again.
Water alone doesn't remove salt from all the nooks and crannies that will rust. :inspector:

I think if you read Todd's post again, he didn't say just water.........
As far as the other part...... Unless this stuff is formulated like a rinseless wash(ie onr) or waterless wash (ie pb spray and wipe), I myself would be afraid to use it. Salt is abrasive.
I know that in the past, I have used water and then sprayed a diluted mix of pb bug squash on the car, and it seems to have done a great job of reducing the amount of salt on the surface. But it is still followed by a FULL wash with soap and water

I almost never suggest or promote a specific product but this stuff works fantastic.
It washes it away without so much as touching a thing but most importantly it will not strip wax or cause streaks or spots, leaving all surfaces squeaky clean as it was when you first washed it.
It comes with a mixing unit you attach to a garden hose.
If you find the need try some and you'll see. :bigups
