My neighborhood used it 2 Summers ago, and about a year ago, my 2000 Silverado started rusting out. Chevy jokes aside, I hadn't seen rust like that since the 1970's. I can't prove that the CC was the culprit, but it sure is a coincidence.
They use that here and during the winter they use something like it for the ice on the roads

Neighbor thought I was weird cause every single day I would wash under the truck when I got home from work or what ever

Later on he looked at his dodge and it was terrible
