Battling a frozen Parking lot!
What happens here
Following the spreading tests, the team emphasizes the importance of thoroughly washing all equipment immediately after salt application to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan. The trucks are driven into a car wash bay where they are cleaned using the provided washing equipment. Alex also points out the undercarriage of the truck, demonstrating how areas treated with bed liner show minimal rust, reinforcing its recommendation as a protective measure for rockers and other vulnerable parts.
Goal: Clean all equipment and protect against rust after salt application.
