| Rust Proofing
Is there a reputable place in the Lower Mainland that does rust proofing?
Something like this? http://www.krown.com/
I searched, but couldn't find anything...

I don't think the bodies, but other parts yes. I doubt Van has to worry about it, you guys only get snow, what, one day a year?

Vancouver has used salt for many years. We have found it to be the most economical alternative. Also, salt is not as damaging to our road and sewer systems as sand. |

Last year you actually did need a SUV to clear the piles of snow between the tire tracks. My company car (Dodge Caravan) kept getting stuck in the side streets. All 4 wheels literally lifted off the ground. Hopefully the snow won't be this bad ever again.

| AFAIK Magnesium chloride is in a liquid form and is only applied on highways / high traffic area. Since it flows off the road and need to reapplied quite frequently.

Didnt I start a thread like this last year? Anyway, from what I remember the majority of responses I got said its not necessary.
I think someone even brought up highschool chemistry stuff lol
Something about as long as temperatures are hovering around freezing salt doesnt do any damage to your car, its when it starts to warm up?
Just make sure you hit a car wash with underbody spray once in a while?
