G'Day Mike, You could be right but a lot of our cars spend a lot of time at the beach:~). Cars at the beach pick up an amazing amount of salt from water carried on the wind. As I mentioned last post, when using a car I dry the boat thoroughly if theres no fresh water around and use one lot of water in a 1 gallon watering can if its available. Generally steam/vapor clean the car after a long weekend at the beach (uses much less water than hosing it down). I'll let you know how rusty the car is in a year or two:~) All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
