Advice: Removal of Salt Flakes
Well, I was a little too anxious to take the 911 out of storage
because we had a couple of sunny days in Chicago. Unfortunately there
is still far too much salt on the roads and of course it kicked up on
the bra and especially on the rear bumper aft of the wheels.
I've washed the car today but the flakes remain. Any suggestions on a
non-abrasive approach to removing those nasty flakes?
Thanks in advance.

Paco, I'm probably slow.... but what do you mean by flakes? The salt? or
the paint? the salt should have washed off and the paint shouldn't flake off
because of road salt

Guenter,
You are not slow and thanks for the reply. I should have been more
explicit.
They appears as flakes of white salt. I used the word flakes because
they are not crystals but more like white specs which are very
difficult, but not impossible, to remove.
Since the initial posting I have taken warm, almost hot, water and
rubbed like h?ll to remove them. It has taken a long time but they
have been removed.
It is the first time I have experienced anything like that from road
salt, but it will be the last time. From this day on I will never
remove the 911 from storage until there has been a good number of
spring showers.
I can only imagine what that salt has done to the underbelly. It's
time to move away from the Chicago area.

Salt will disolve but some gentle washing will get it all clean. Take an
old diaper, or your favotire cotton cloth, to a self-service wash. Use
that one the affected parts. You'll need to ignore the "no bucket
washing" sign so go when there's no line of people who'll think "Porsche
owners are all assholes."
W.G.,
Because that sentence is in English.
