Is it safe to use automotive salt and brine neutralizer on our bikes? (self.bicycles)

And if it's safe, is it overkill? I really, really dislike road salt.

Exactly. T9 and ACF-50 tend to stick and protect exposed components for a while, possibly a full season or even longer, depending on abuse. I don't recall ever having a bolt sprayed with ACF-50 rust. They might get discolored but that's as bad as they've gotten.
