Not in Canada, lots of salt on our roads that makes a lot of damage on the body.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Manitoba doesn't use as much salt. They use more sand than salt.

 

Exactly, the bodies are dipped at the factories and have great coverage for rust protection - far better than some guy "trying" to cover every part of the car through holes/gaps or whatever. In fact the rust can often occur where they drill the holes to spray the gunk. Great marketing and I've never taken it in 37 years. Had cars for 17 years and 22 years with no problems plus a couple of shorter term vehicles.

 

Calgary, Alberta use a lot of salt. The City love it and it actually works. The problem is they also sand the roads. Basically the salt mixture has some gravel and sand particles. The next thing you know is that my 4 month old RX already has a windshield crack.

 

Plenty of salt dumped in the roads here in North Jersey. I still don't see cars rusting unless there's body damage.

 

Salt and sand/gravel mixture used on Alberta roads going to scratch underside for sure. I seen even on 2 year old cars.
