      Re: need help heavy sea salt contamination

      Hi:

      No real experience with this type of problem.

      Three things to try.

      I believe that a vingar bath would help remove the salt, not sure.

      1. I would use a pressurer washer, with warm water if possible, to remove some of the salt. Follow that with a diluted vingar wash and then rinse the vehicle off.

      2. Wash the car with Dawn dish soap.

      3. Also, some of the chemicals used to remove surface contaimination prior to painting may work.

      Wish I could be more helpful.

      Regards,
