black salt, wtf they use that for?

[JFL]

Just wrap up in a jacket and get out there and wash it, like us yorkshire ones

Its not like its all that cold anyway, i cant see what people are complaining about

 

[kayl0rz]

im south-yorkshire ish

its sooooo foggy round here you cant do anything other than quick wash, cant wax or owt, too damp

 

[jug]

i cleaned my car yesterday, then went for a drive, and it was black again. :bang:

 

[Xen]

i aint gonna bother cleaning mine for atleast 2 months.... a quick rinse with the hose to get the salt off and thats about it.... i aint gonna waste my time cleaning it properly to have it filthy again in 30 mins.

anyone know if its more corrosive than the normal stuff?

probably does, another government plot to get rid of older cars

anyone going to write a complaint then? copy and paste the red bit from first post onto other forums you use.

how do you start one of them petition things? some one want to do one?

 

[jug]

you cant really complain just because the salt rock is from a different country to last year. salt is salt, it does the job just as well. the colour will depend on the sand in the area the salt rock is from.

i knew that

my car isnt clean anymore now that i have been to see my friend down about 10 miles of single tracked dirty roads :yuck:, and dont get me started on that bloody frontera driver :bang:

 

[JonseyMJ07]

round here there still using the orange salt, well on the M60 anyway.

 

[faster4_tec]

thought it just goes black because of the dirt imbedded in the road?


and AFAIK, after salt has been on the road even when its relativly dry its VERY slippery. maybe hence theres so many accidents, people don't realise how slippy it is!

theres a bit of A road near me, in summer even when its wet you can attempt the corners at 70+ without any trouble.
however even in the almost dry (morning condensation) in winter after its been salted, you'd be a fool to try more than 35/40. its that bad in places

its practically daily that people come off on a certain set of corners. so they've now deforested a good few acres so that when people DO come off, they don't slice the car in half around a tree, saves lives, but looks nasty and bare. All because some people don't realise the conditions they are out in.

wish more people would get out of their cars once in a while and try to merely walk on some of these surfaces before driving at speed on them

yeah a few others have said on other sites that they still got the orange, this defiantly black, you cant see it coming out the lorry like you can the orange stuff,

 

[JFL]

I hate it when the lorry goes past on the other side of the road and grits it all over your windscreen and the side of your car

 

[Hellcat]

Bravo is clean for once. The number-plate had actually disapered into the rest of the black so out came the buckets and wash mits followed by the polish... mmmm shiney black car

 

[JFL]

my car is quite dirty now , i went to see my mate, and it was windy country tracks, where you have to go on the grassy verges to let cars past

but they are good roads for blasting down when its clear
