Hi there!
I’ve searched in the forums but couldn’t find a direct answer to this question (my apologies in advance, I’m new in the forum, and sure it’s somewhere there)
I’m about to do a 3-4 days drive through the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia (in case you are not familiar, think of something similar to the Badwater Basin in Death Valley, but way larger). I’ve been advice that this could be very corrosive and damage the underbody. Also, this is rainy season so it will be splashing underneath.
So my question: Is there any consensus over what’s a good treatment to protect the underbody against this specific type of rust/corrosion? There are some shops at the skirts of the desert that offer a treatment with gasoline or diesel, but I’m not sure if this is good enough.
Any tip that is not a huge budget would be better, as these 4 days are the only exposure we’ll have to this environment.
