Description

Living near the coast exposes your vehicle to airborne salt and humidity every day, even when it’s parked. Airborne salt, coastal smog and humidity settle on paint, metal and underbody components, accelerating corrosion long before rust is visible.

Salt Shift Coastal Car Wash is engineered for these coastal conditions. Using marine-grade corrosion inhibitors, it removes salt mist and coastal smog while helping slow environmental corrosion when used regularly.

If your vehicle is regularly exposed to coastal air within 10 km of the ocean, this helps protect it from environmental corrosion where it sits, not just where it’s driven.

*Does not stop corrosion completely. Results depend on environment, exposure and maintenance frequency.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes Salt Shift products different from other cleaning solutions?

Salt Shift products are 100% Australian-designed and specifically formulated to remove salt, grime, and corrosion from marine and outdoor equipment. Unlike generic cleaners, our solutions are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for all surfaces.

Are your products safe to use on all surfaces?

Yes! Our formulas are non-corrosive and safe for gel coat, fiberglass, aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, rubber, and painted surfaces. They effectively remove salt deposits without causing damage.

Will Salt Shift strip wax or protective coatings?

No! Our formulas are pH-balanced and designed to clean effectively without stripping wax, ceramic coatings, or protective sealants.

Is it safe to use on my vehicle?

Yes, the Salt Shift wash is formulated to be safe for all vehicle surfaces, including paint, metal, and plastics. It’s tough on contaminants but gentle on coatings and finishes.

Will Salt Shift wash prevent corrosion?

Yes, regular use helps prevent corrosion by removing salt and contaminants that can damage metal surfaces.

How much do I need to dilute Salt Shift before use?

Salt Shift formulas are twice as concentrated as standard cleaners, so they should be diluted at a 20:1 ratio (20 parts water to 1 part Salt Shift).

For foaming guns, simply fill the bottle with the correct dilution, and the gun will mix it automatically. For spray bottles, pre-dilute the solution before applying. This ensures maximum cleaning power while remaining cost-effective for long-term use.
