Too soon to tell if these new chemicals will have the corrosive effects of regular salt, but the metal parts of the back bumper of my car (under the plastic cover) have started rotting at a very fast rate in just the last 2 years which co-incides with the start of the use of the pre-treatment.

Yeah they put that brine crap down on our roads ahead of time to, however they only use it on the state owned main roads. The local townships only use rock salt on their roads. If I stick to the back roads(which is the plan) I will only have to deal with the regular salt residue, however with so much snow due to come down, that little bit of salt will be covered up. The township trucks won't be salting during the height of the storm and will only be out plowing. Once the snow ends though the M will be put away, as the plows and salt trucks will be out in force by then.
