When you think of South Florida you can’t help but think of the salty air and ocean breeze. We may love this as residents, but our cars bear the brunt of the damage from the local environment. Here at Mint Eco, we are on a mission to 1) educate our customers, and 2) help you prevent damage to your vehicles: starting with rust.

Before you think we are crazy - yes, your car can rust here in South Florida. In fact, the problem is just as prevalent as it is in snow climates in the Northeast, where rust is caused by the salt on the roads to prevent ice.

Because of this threat, our expert team went out and found a solution that no other car wash has in their tunnel. We ended up borrowing technology from the marine industry, which is very familiar with damage from salt.

The Role of Salt-Away in Mint Eco Car Wash’s Protect Wash

Salt-Away is a vital part of our in-tunnel chemistry that will maintain the appearance of your vehicle and protect it from the damaging effects of salt residue over time. Down here in South Florida, salt is carried in the air via the wind up to 50 miles inland, in the rainwater sucked up by the oceanfront storms, and ultimately ends up in any puddles you may drive through, meaning your vehicle is at risk for a larger percentage of the year than in the Northeast! By using Salt-Away, we effectively remove salt deposits, preventing unsightly buildup and potential corrosion which will ensure the longevity of your vehicle.

Environmentally Friendly Benefits of Salt-Away

At Mint Eco Car Wash, we are committed to sustainable practices and minimizing our environmental impact. Salt-Away aligns perfectly with our eco-friendly ethos, thanks to its biodegradable formula and water-saving properties. Our dedication to using non-toxic, bio-degradable ingredients is further exemplified through the inclusion of Salt-Away in our cleaning process. By choosing Mint Eco Car Wash and Salt-Away, you contribute to the preservation of our planet, making a positive impact while enjoying a spotless, salt-free vehicle. All of our tunnel chemistry (which includes Salt-Away) meets the strict standards outlined in our Voluntary Annual Environmental Audit.

How Salt-Away Enhances the Cleaning Process in Our Tunnel System

Salt-Away's specialized formula plays a significant role in enhancing the overall cleaning process at Mint Eco Car Wash. Its effectiveness in breaking down salt deposits ensures a thorough and spotless cleaning for your vehicle. Unlike water alone, Salt-Away effectively removes dissolved salt crystals from surfaces, preventing their reattachment during the drying process. By utilizing the unique properties of Salt-Away, our team ensures that your car not only looks pristine but is also free from salt-related damage.

Salt-Away and Long-Term Vehicle Protection

The benefits of Salt-Away extend far beyond the immediate cleaning process. Regular application of Salt-Away provides long-term protection for your vehicle's exterior, undercarriage, and delicate components. By eliminating salt residue, we safeguard your car against corrosion, rust, and other salt-induced damage. This proactive approach not only extends your vehicle's lifespan but also helps maintain its value over time, ensuring your investment stays protected and looking its best.
