What Is Eagle Guard?
Eagle Guard is a liquid salt neutralizer and rust inhibitor designed for use on:
- Undercarriages
- Vehicle frames
- Suspension components
- Trailers and equipment
- Snow plows, salt spreaders, and work trucks
Its two-part action both neutralizes corrosive chlorides left behind by winter road treatments and leaves a protective layer that inhibits future rust formation.
đź’ˇKey Benefits & Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Salt Neutralization | Breaks down sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and brine residue |
| Rust Inhibition | Leaves a protective coating to slow corrosion |
| Non-Tacky Finish | Dries to a clean, natural feel—won’t attract dust or grime |
| Safe on Coatings & Paint | Will not strip waxes, coatings, or undercoating materials |
| Spray-On & Rinse-Free | No rinsing required after application |
Where to Use Eagle Guard
Eagle Guard is ideal for protecting:
- Vehicle undercarriages
- Truck frames and axles
- Trailer components and rails
- Snow and ice removal equipment
- Salt spreaders and service trucks
- RVs, ATVs, and off-road rigs
How to Use Eagle Guard
Application Steps:
- Clean First: Start with a clean surface—use a pressure washer and degreaser (e.g., Heavy Duty or D-Lime 90) to remove road film, mud, and salt residue
- Allow to Dry or Drip Dry: Eagle Guard adheres best to clean, dry (or nearly dry) surfaces
- Spray on Eagle Guard using a pump sprayer, electric sprayer, or downstream foamer (no rinsing required)
- Let it sit—no wipe or rinse needed. The formula bonds and dries naturally
💡 Best applied every 2–4 weeks during active salt season or after any thorough undercarriage wash
Dilution & Coverage
| Use Case | Dilution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General Protection | Ready to Use | Apply straight from the bottle |
| Light Maintenance | 1:1 with water | Optional for regular reapplication |
- 1 gallon covers approx. 8–10 vehicles depending on size and surface complexity
- Use fine mist sprayers or low-pressure foamers for best coverage and efficiency
Application Tools
Eagle Guard works great with:
- Electric sprayers or backpack sprayers
- Pump-up sprayers
- Downstream injectors (low-pressure application only)
- Undercarriage sprayers or lances for hard-to-reach areas
Avoid high-pressure nozzles or turbo tips during application, as they may blow off the coating before it sets.
When Should I Apply Eagle Guard?
- After each wash in winter months
- Before or after major storms
- After driving through salted roads or slush
- As seasonal protection before storing equipment or vehicles
It can be applied year-round for long-term rust prevention—especially on vehicles or trailers exposed to moisture and corrosive materials.
Surface Safety Notes
- Safe on metal, painted surfaces, rubber, and plastic
- Do not apply to glass or windshield—may cause light hazing
- If over-applied, any streaks can be wiped clean once dry
