A lot may argue with me (you will lose)... I live in a place that uses more salt per lane-mile than ANYWHERE in the United States (over 82 tons per lane-mile). The year I compared to other states, the UP of Michigan was the closest at 24 tons/lane-mile.
I had my 2014 sprayed with grease used on mining equipment (they heat it to spray)... had it touched up once. After 10 years and 100K miles, it had some surface rust on the frame, but absolutely nothing on the body panels.
When I got my 2024, they didn't use it anymore. Instead, they've switched to a Fluid Film (like) spray. Had the new 2024 done as well.
We'll see how it does. It is not nearly as heavy a coating. But the guy that does this in our area also owns a contract for spreading salt in the winter. A little conflict of interest???
