Well that's some good info to have. Thanks for the heads up.So, those of us that live here deal with this crappy brine that ODOT puts on the roads because (insert whatever). I heard from my brother that ODOT is switching up the brine this year for one that is cheaper by 25%-30% BUT it is known to cause severe rust issues. Ohio knows this and they are choosing to still put this on the roads. I have both my Jeeps LineX'd but I'll make sure to wash the underside of the Jeeps more often now.
I just wanted to let my fellow Ohioans (and anyone traveling thru Ohio) know that the brine formula is changing
But our wonderful state is also the Diner Capital of the World! And home of the famous Taylor Ham pork roll.you guys all need to come to new jersey - we have strip shopping malls on every corner, some of the highest property taxes in the country, and just yesterday I watched a jeeper get a ticket because he drove in the sand in wharton state forest... yeah, I know, what was he thinking?
Ohio, Texas, I don't care, somebody get me outta here!
Do you spray the undercarriage, wheel wells, under the bumpers, etc also ? Or just the engine compartment?Buy CRC-656 marine by the gallon and put it in a spray bottle and go nuts and spray everything, including electrical connections. I have done this for years on my 09 jeep and after 10 years and 200K miles I still have no rust. I even drove through a ton of saltwater in the outer banks as well, including hurricane Mathew. I also use it in my waverunner that is now approaching 20 years old and it to
has no rust and is used only in saltwater. Fluid Film is great too, but is thicker and more expensive. I use both, but CRC is easier to spray.

Everything, if I can see it or get to it, it gets sprayed. Just avoid getting it on the brake rotors as much as possible.Do you spray the undercarriage, wheel wells, under the bumpers, etc also ? Or just the engine compartment?
You’re asking the real question here. Brine is ambiguous. If it’s just salt you can wash your underside every week and be fine.Magnesium chloride?
I can’t tell if you’ve lived here your whole life or just moved here from somewhere else....Why can't Ohio just leave the F'n snow alone? It's not like we get snowed in for weeks at a time or anything. It snows; maybe it sticks around for a few days, and then it melts. But no, we rally the National Guard every time there's a flurry. Brine everything, pull up every loose piece of pavement with the army of plows, and then throw salt and sand on everything. It'll be 50 degrees three days later, and the dipshit Ohio drivers will still wreck anyways.
Then we get pothole season in the Spring. *Sigh*
But at least our football team is awesome.

Spoken like true central Ohioans and Jeep owners. I'm inclined to agree that, it would be somewhat effective for those areas outside the snow belt (lake effect area). Two things to remember though.I, for the most part, agree. Plow the interstates and leave the rest alone.
