CHLOR-X SALT REMOVER

Chlor-X Salt Remover is a professional-grade salt remover for metal specifically designed to eliminate corrosive road salt and airborne pollutants from vehicle bodywork, underbodies, and other metal surfaces. Whether you’re preparing metal for painting or maintaining your car during the harsh winter months, Chlor-X delivers deep, molecular-level cleaning that traditional washing methods simply can’t match.

How Chlor-X Salt Remover for Metal Protects Your Vehicle

Salt crystals bond tightly to metal surfaces, causing hidden contamination that ultimately contributes to rust and corrosion. Even though boiling steel removes about 90% of salt deposits, some residues remain embedded. Fortunately, Chlor-X uses advanced surfactant technology to penetrate behind salt particles, lifting and dissolving them completely to leave a clean, paint-ready surface.

More importantly, Chlor-X outperforms traditional cleaning methods and stands out as one of the few dedicated salt removers for metal available in the UK. Additionally, it’s safe for use on steel, concrete, and a variety of automotive and industrial surfaces. This makes it ideal for classic car restoration, winter maintenance, and effective corrosion prevention.

Methods of Application

Chlor-X Salt Remover is available in three formulations:

Chlor-X DTS (Direct to Surface) – A ready-to-use formula.

• • First, wash the surface with Rustbuster Safer Degreaser.
  • Then, apply Chlor-X DTS directly to the metal surface using the trigger spray bottle.
  • After allowing it to sit for 10 minutes, rinse it off with a hose.

Chlor-X 201 – A standard 1-liter bottle.

• • • Begin by washing the surface with Rustbuster Safer Degreaser.
    • Next, fill Chlor-X into a hose-end dispenser and set the mixture knob to maximum.
    • Hose down the steel intended for painting; the Chlor-X 201 will automatically mix with the water. For regular car washes, adjust the mixture knob to the minimum setting.
    • Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, and then hose it off.

Chlor-X 100 – A 100% concentrated formula.

• • For power wash systems, dilute Chlor-X 100 at 100:1, or dilute at 500:1 in blast cleaning systems.
  • You can also mix Chlor-X 100 with Rustbuster Safer Degreaser at a ratio of 1 part Chlor-X 100 to 10 parts Safer Degreaser.
  • Afterward, place the mixture into the dosing bottle of your power washer.
  • Let it sit for 10 minutes before hosing it off.

Why Use a Dedicated Salt Remover for Metal?

Using an effective salt remover for metal like Chlor-X ensures thorough removal of road salt and prevents long-term corrosion damage. Unlike general cleaning products, Chlor-X targets the microscopic salt crystals embedded in metal surfaces.
