They did a TV spot on the salt they used this winter on the roads here in the Midwest. We had a rough winter with a lot of ice. The information is that someone has developed a new kind of salt/salt solution that can help keep the streets clear of ice. The downside is that this new salt acts like salt on steroids and will eat a car faster then anything they have ever seen in the past. They advised frequent car washes with bottom blasts along with getting after the rust the minute you see it forming. I guess I am lucky that all winter I washed my LX470 and did the bottom blast 2x's every week throughout the winter. I am now going to get under my LX with some rust arrester and rustolem and attack any rust I see forming. I am posting this to inform others that live in the rust belt to do the same. If anyone has any good advise?

That sounds like some nasty stuff, thanks for the heads up on behalf of all those in snow prone areas. Not something I'll have to worry about, but I can imagine there will be a lot of unhappy campers, and maybe a lawsuit or insurance claim or two.
