I wonder if car manufacturers developed that stuff. Sounds nasty.

That's why I recommended using Boeshield on them. It's a wax based spray that coats what you spray it on to protect it from corrosion. Boeing (hence the "boe" in the name) developed it for aircraft.

The Boxster isn't that low. I've driven in snow deep enough that my car left a clear "track" from the bottom of the chassis. I was on summer tires at the time too. Driving carefully is all it takes.
