(Stainless easier to take care of than paint)
Yikes Gil, you need to live in inter mountain west. Out here the highway dept uses "Magnesium Chloride" for snow/ice control on our roads. (So people can speed in winter) One NANO-second in mag-chloride, and your beautiful polished stainless is flecked with brown little snowflakes from the goo (it's slimy upon application)settling into the small imperfections in the metal. Then it's hours of polishing to remove them. We owned a 2002 Marathon XLII in 2002-2004, upon trading, Buddy Gregg had to have the two year old coach repolished and replaced the engine compartment doors from pitting for the new owner. issue is a bit lessOur current 1992 XL 40 must be a slight variance in the ingredients of the stainless, since the "brown snowflake" issue is a bit less
