Guess we better get a good frame coating.

I was one of the people who thought Oregon didn’t salt the roads. But this article says otherwise. At least it’s not often that we need it.

Yeah. They started doing that a few years ago, but only in limited places. Thank goodness not where we live/drive. I think it’s mostly avoidable if you pay attention.

 

what a brine treated road looks like pre rain

 

seems like the chemical de-icer might look similar?

 

I was driving right behind a salt truck near Delta Park, definitely not what I was expecting.

I was thinking the west hills of Portland - and mainly highways, would be salted. During our recent ice storm I was looking for a “no touch” car wash that would do an undercarriage rinse - no such luck…they were all closed.

 

There’s this map for Portland. It’s interactive and will show routes where they are salting.
It’s terrible to use on mobile though.

Very handy, thanks!

 

Has anyone actually gotten a good frame coating?

 

in general or in the PNW
in general I would say yes, plenty of posts from rust belt members about it
a quality service offered in the PNW, not that I'm aware of (we're late to the salt/brine hell party)

 

I meant locally. I guess I better get under there are take a look around.

 

well you're not showing your location so I had to make some assumptions

 

Sorry for the necro post. Just for info, I use cor-ban 22 and 23 to coat my frame and other parts that will rust. Works great and doesn't break the bank.
