Winter is finally over! Over 1 month late. With potholes now being the new enemy, double digits are here. Post up your ride and car related content. Last I checked, I'm pretty sure this was a car forum.
XD XD XD

Spring cleaned the beater and wifey's car over the weekend. .
JFC there must be one full bowl of Cheerios combined when I turned the car seats upside down.
The raccoons would eat garbage yet the Cheerios remain untouched. Hmm.
I tried using the salt stain remover, but I couldn't get some of it off. Any suggestions?
The S was already insured 2-3 weeks ago since I had to resurrect it from the dead (18 months of parking it).
The M will come out this week cuz where I park is getting the power wash treatment

re: salt
50/50 mix of vinegar and water in a spray bottle has always worked wonders for me. Spray the shit out of the salty area, dab dry with a towel.. repeat.
Salt stain? Time to get rid of it and get a new car. /Csi Middle class

Just changed both cars before the rain came in. My back is going to be screaming tomorrow. I miss the days of the 15" Fiat wheels.

re: salt
50/50 mix of vinegar and water in a spray bottle has always worked wonders for me. Spray the shit out of the salty area, dab dry with a towel.. repeat. I've never got it to come off that easy, I usually have to work at it with a stiff brush to break down the chunks.
The stuff I use was this: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/salt-eraser-0390421p.html
Its foam activated with minimal water (as I don't want the carpet to stay damp) -- scrubbed the shit out of it with a stiff brush -- got most chunks off but still have a bit left that's caked on. Is water+vinegar more potent?

Yooo nice! If the mileage is high enough for rod bearings, your rear diff is on its way out too. Service life on that diff is 100k miles or some such (stated in the manual)

For salt stains on any removable carpet, I just clip it to the wall of the carwash, and blast it for a minute with fresh water... Usually works ok.
For stains inside ...
