Don't Ignore The Interior of The Frame Rails ~ Chassis Flush

[Beach_Bum]

What did you use for a “wash” chemical and did you use a corrosion prevention treatment like salt shifts offerings? I like the products but don’t wanna pay Australia prices with shipping.
I’m not sure what would be comparable products stateside.

The chassis flush soap dispenser in the photo, I used my ordinary foam cannon carwash soap. Just a Chemical Guys Extreme Body Wash/Wax. Despite it's name, I just consider it ordinary carwash soap. Don't overthink it. Just flush with water until it runs "clearish". I repeat the first/bulk flushing all along the frame rail on each side. Then I return for a second flushing with the soap dispenser turned on. After soaping up the interior frame rails, I then repeat the water flushing until it runs clear.

I do use Salt Shift's Rust Shield but only once a year. You can save money with Salt Shift by waiting for the yearly half price sale in July. Still expensive stuff, but the savings helps offset the sticker shock.

Thanks, I’m ordering. Frame rust killed my 2k Tacoma after 13 years, and I had been meticulous about cleaning and touching up the exterior parts of the boxed frame. It was a well-known manufacturing defect, but maybe something like this would have given me some more years with my favorite truck .

When you get it, please post some photos of the debris that washes out of yours.

Go to your local boating store or online boat store and you will see engine flush products. This same flush device is less money there. You can use Salt A Way and leave it in the rails no issue as it is designed to protect metal. Or just use liquid soap and flush it out.
