How to Remove Salt Residue from Your Vehicle with Paxton Industries IDX20 Salt Away HD, Truck & Equipment Wash

Protect Your Ride from Winter’s Grip 

Winter roads can be unforgiving—not just for drivers, but for vehicles themselves. The culprit? Salt residue. While road salt is essential for keeping streets safe and ice-free, it can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s exterior and undercarriage, leading to corrosion, rust, and a shortened lifespan for your ride. If you’re looking for an effective, environmentally conscious way to banish stubborn salt, look no further than the Paxton Industries IDX20 Salt Away HD. 

Why Remove Salt Residue? 

Salt might save you from slipping, but it’s no friend to your car. Over time, salt clings to paint, wheels, and metal parts, eating away at protective coatings and exposing the underlying metal to moisture. If not addressed, this leads to unsightly rust spots and costly repairs.

Step-by-Step Guide to Salt Removal 

1. Pre-Rinse Your Vehicle 

Begin by rinsing your vehicle with water to remove loose dirt, grime, and some of the superficial salt. This prevents scratching during the wash and ensures the cleaning solution can target stubborn, stuck-on salt. 

2. Apply the IDX20 Salt Away HD Foam 

Using a foaming applicator or sprayer, generously coat your vehicle with Paxton Industries IDX20 Salt Away HD. Make sure to focus on high-risk areas, like wheel wells, undercarriage, and lower panels where salt tends to accumulate. 

3. Let It Sit 

Allow the foam to sit on your vehicle for a few minutes. This dwell time is crucial, as it gives the formula a chance to break down and dissolve even the most persistent salt crystals. Don’t let the soap dry, especially in direct sunlight. 

4. Pressure Wash Thoroughly 

After the waiting period, use a pressure washer to rinse off the foamed areas. Paxton’s IDX20 Salt Away HD is designed to rinse clean, leaving no sticky residue behind—just a spotless, salt-free finish. 

5. Inspect and Repeat as Needed 

Check for any stubborn spots. In extreme cases, a second application may be necessary, especially after a particularly harsh winter. Consistent care will prevent the buildup that leads to long-term damage. 

Pro Tips for Winter Vehicle Care 

• Wash your vehicle regularly during winter—ideally every one to two weeks. 

• Pay special attention to the undercarriage, where salt is most damaging. 

• Choose cleaning products that are safe for the environment to help protect local waterways.
