Molasses in the road salt

As if salt isn't bad enough for your car, councils are adding molasses into their mixture to make it go further. I'm sure this will be great fun to try and scrape off your bonnet leading edge, wheel arches and wheels etc Evil or Very Mad

Wiltshire council is trialling it, but loads do it according to google.[/i]

Not a great time of year to own a silver car!
