I would love to wash the PA salt off of my baby. But we are supposed to get more snow this week so you know what that means DOT going ape **** with salt on the roads.

It's like you're seeing colors you've never seen before when you wash off all that godforsaken salt huh? Good thing I get free car washes

How exactly do they get the snow to melt off of icy snowy roads exactly then?

Looks nice dude! I was going to wash mine today for the first time this year but decided to wait. Your pictures are making me regret it now.

They don't. I don't miss the salt, but i do miss bare roads...They put down sand and cinders and wait for a warm wind to melt it. We usually have these warm winds called Chinooks that blow in here a few times a winter and melt everything, temps go from 5 degrees to 55 degrees in 12 hours. We have not had much of that this year though, the streets in great falls are one sheet of ice right now.

Wow no salt. That's crazy. We have bare road an hour or two after the snow stops

What do you do for the under body stuff? Just get the pressure washer out and go from end to end? Never really washed it in the winter yet.
