Care for some salt?

[stateboy_imp]

The Detroit area where I grew up, salt was a staple on the winter roads (which was mined in tunnels nearly 1/4 mile under Detroit - http://detroitsalt.com/history ). My dad would have me put Naval Jelly, a pink gel product from the car parts store, on the chrome bumpers of his cars back in the late 60s/early 70s followed by Simoniz chrome polish. It worked rather well. I don't know what the jelly's makeup was. A quick check on the internet shows that it apparently is still available.
