[QUOTE="badm0t0rfinger, post: 1546946, member: 16630"] I use either one of those underbody cleaners or at the car wash I clean the undercarriage as best as I can (I get looks sometimes nearly laying on the concrete, but to me its worth it). Trust me You should be okay. My truck was on the beaches in Hawaii almost every weekend from 2014 to 2017 and Outer Banks up til 2019. You'll be fine. Wash it down if you are putting a boat into the water and you back up to your axle into water. Put fluid film on the truck once its dry. When applying your highest priority is making sure its dry, because if its wet it will trap the water inside and cause even worse corrosion/rust than no application at all. Thats why I cringe when I see those rubberized undercoating. 9 times out of 10 its done poorly and will make the frame swiss cheese in just a few years. Dust and dirt aren't nearly as big of a deal, obviously don't apply over the clumps of dirt from the last time you went muddin', but don't skip a spot with a little dust. This stuff will collect dust all the same. Plus if you're really concerned about salt, just rinse the undercarriage with some Salt Away. I'm sure you can find some at any marine supply store. Its good stuff. [/QUOTE]
