How to Use
Step 1: Foam wash the exterior
Mix Salt Shift 4x4 & Caravan Wash with water at a 20:1 ratio in the Snow Foam Cannon. Foam the vehicle, allow it to dwell for 60 seconds, then use the 2-in-1 Wash Mitt for any remaining agitated cleaning. Once done, rinse thoroughly.
Step 2: Clean the chassis
Add 50–100mL (1.7–3.4 oz) of Undercarriage & Chassis Wash to the Universal Flusher Canister. Attach it to the Chassis Flusher, connect to a garden hose, and flush for 30 seconds while moving steadily along the chassis frame.
Step 3: Deep-clean the underbody
Add 50–100mL (1.7–3.4 oz) of Undercarriage & Chassis Wash to the Universal Flusher Canister. Attach it to the Underbody Blaster Off-Road and pressure washer. Spray across the entire undercarriage, allow 60 seconds of dwell time, then rinse with fresh water. Do not let the product dry. Repeat on heavily soiled areas if needed.
Step 4: Prep metal surfaces
Pressure wash the areas to be protected. Apply All Purpose Cleaner and use the brush as needed to remove grease, grime and stains. Rinse thoroughly and dry the vehicle with the Twist Pile Dry Towel.
Step 5: Apply Rust Shield
Spray Rust Shield evenly onto clean, dry metal areas such as the chassis and suspension.
Step 6: Allow Rust Shield to cure
Allow approximately 3 hours for Rust Shield to tack dry before normal dry-road driving. Allow 3–4 days for it to fully cure and harden before trail or beach driving, vessel launching, or driving on wet roads. Confirm it has cured to a non-stick finish before heading off-road.

Clean Beyond What You Can See
A proper 4x4 clean goes underneath. The included wash system helps flush and clean hard-to-reach chassis and underbody areas, where corrosive salt and moisture can build up after beach driving, trails and wet-weather adventures.
Breaks Down Salt, Mud & Limescale
Thick foam and targeted underbody cleaning work fast to lift stubborn buildup before it has a chance to cling to surfaces. Less scrubbing, less time cleaning, and a better result after every trip.
Prep for Long-Term Protection
Cleaning is only half the job. Once surfaces are free from grease, grime and water residue, they are ready for a protective coating that helps keep moisture and salt away from exposed metal.
Durable Rust Defence
The protective finish cures into a clear, hydrophobic barrier that helps defend the chassis, suspension and other metal surfaces from corrosion. It dries to a tough, non-stick finish that helps sand and dirt rinse away more easily.
Ready for Harsh Conditions
Whether you drive beaches, tracks, muddy trails or salted roads, this system helps you stay ahead of corrosion. It is built for regular 4xa maintenance.
Less Effort. Better Results.
Purpose-built tools make it easier to foam, flush, wash and protect the areas that matter. Get a deeper clean and lasting protection with a simple, repeatable process.
Protection You Can Check
The hydrophobic finish helps water rinse away from protected surfaces. Check it before your next trip; when that water-repelling effect begins to fade, it’s time to refresh the protection.
Tested Corrosion Protection
The corrosion-protection performance of the protective coating has been independently tested by a NATA-accredited laboratory in Australia.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will this kit allow me to clean and protect the underbody of my car?
Yes. The Underbody Blaster and Chassis Flusher clean hard-to-reach underbody areas, and Rust Shield then protects that same metal from corrosion for up to 12 months.
When should I apply the protective coating?
Apply it only after the target metal surfaces are clean, dry and free of grease or water residue. Use the surface cleaner and brush first where needed.
How long does the protection last?
Protection can last around 6–12 months, depending on driving conditions and how often the vehicle is used off-road or near saltwater. Check the hydrophobic effect before trips and reapply when it begins to fade.
Does the protective coating contain PFAs or lanolin?
No. It is PFAS-free and is not lanolin-based.
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.

Hi I've recently washed the underbody with the treatment product. Then applied the rust prevention product.
Looking great at the moment. Let's see how it lasts.
Thanks
Mark
Start by saying, I live in the salt belt, Ohio, USA. Tried a few products over the years. Your Salt Shield goes on flawlessly and my wife's biggest complaint was the odor of the other products. Yours smells less potent and the odor doesn't last as long. Hardly no mess. If it lasts through the winter I will definitely be using your products again. Thank you guys
Danny
This product is great. My truck is 21 years old. Made my undercarriage look like new. Not too glossy or flat like paint would be. Looks like a factory powdercoat. Doesn't make the mess with overspray like paint does either. Would highly recommend.
Loved the salt shift process, easy to do and a lot less messy than the last product I used. Infact I even used less than I thought I needed to do my whole Ranger chassis. Even coated the rear half twice due to what I use my vehicle for.
Chassis flush so easy to use, the undercarriage wash was also great, although was unsure if supposed to dilute it or apply straight because I had to use was a snow foam bottle due to being only thing I had to apply it, so did use the whole 1ltr bottle between the chassis flush and washing with pressure washer.
Only thing i can see thats different, is it hasn't dried as a full gloss finish? Not sure if its just rhe way my chassis is or if I didn't do the wash correctly or if not using the all purpose cleaner was the issue as I didnt feel I needed to use it?
I live in Wisconsin USA. We get some nasty winter weather here. I was using a lanolin base product that works well but collect a lot of dirt and makes servicing the undercarriage very messy. I decided to give salt chef to try sprayed two cars loved what I saw and ordering a second batch shipping was reasonably fast for how far it was coming. Communication communication was great and the end result very pleased with best regards, Jim.
I was a little skeptical, at first if this if this stuff really works. When I got my truck down it looked brand new underneath. Lot easier to clean, nothing sticking to it. Very impressive, been telling everyone about it. A must if you own a 4x4. Thanks again for making amazing products.
Rust Shield keeps everything looking brand new!
You guys should have a dealer in the United States so we could get the product quicker. It took a month or more to get the Rust Shield on my first order through Amazon. My second order, I went directly through your website and it was slightly faster.
Thanks for the great product!!!!!!!!!
Frame looks like it’s freshly painted. Drove through some flood water downtown during a nor’easter at our beach town. Frame had a cloudy look again. Just sprayed it with a pressure washer, water only. Looked brand new again.
Rust shield really works 💪
I've been to the Cape and back with river crossings on the beaches and the dusty tracks etc and everything under the ute is still clean as
I love this stuff
Easy to apply and if applied correctly there is no running of the product. Also, it was able to do entire under carriage on my vehicle with one bottle. Looks amazing!
I like the Salt Shift much better than other undercarriage rust treatment as Salt Shift does not turn everything black. The frame and running gear looks new and it coats without changing the natural colors of the other components. Two thumbs up!
I’m 55 this year. Was a detailer before my mechanical apprenticeship in the early 90’s. In that time I can tell you of 3 products I would recommend because they work. A particular black RTV silicone. A particular injector cleaner in a bottle. And rust shield from salt shift. I just did the recommended 12 month reapplication and the results are amazing. I almost felt like it didn’t need the top up. Sensational.
Just washed the Jeep, once dried I sprayed the under carriage per the instructions. I did get some on the fenders which are powder coated steel and faded they now look new as does the under side. This stuff just works the only downside is it took 3 days to dry and I attribute that to the humidity but it was definitely worth it!
