They use a sand/salt mixture. It's not really "salt concentrated" enough to cause rust, but still nasty stuff.

they use a kind of blend that's got salt sand and a chemical that does what it can to get rid of the ice, either way, the stuff SUCKS, and yes, usually crap like this does happen after we clean our cars...
