Winterizing coil overs

rummy · 10-08-2010, 02:21 PM

For those who live in salty Winter areas with coilovers, is there a good way to protect the coilovers from the road salt, road grime, and all the nastiness that comes with Chicago winter? I herad some people spray the springs/shocks with some spray to protect. What do you recommend, and do they do a good job of protecting? Thanks!

Product called Boeshield, developed by Boeing for aircraft undercarriage or something....
Google it for reviews from all types of users, cars, bikes, anything that sits out in weather. I just installed coilovers this spring, haven't gone thru a winter yet, but just sprayed em up last weekend. Best product I've heard of for this situation.

Never heard of it, but it looks very promising! Thanks!

corrosionX- bonds with the metal. We use it for all of our metal parts on sailboats we race. Used in aviation as well.
