Got behind one on the interstate yesterday. That's a first for me. I didn't have far to go so I didn't get too close. Figure brine ain't too good sprayed on my truck

Get your vehicle a good complete wash as soon as possible. Then wash again after you have had a good spring rain and the roads have been washed clean. Spray the underside with fluid film or some other coating to prevent rust. Brine is very hard on vehicles it seems to get in and really stick where it shouldn't be.

As far as how corrosive, a lot depends on what kind of brine they are using. In South Carolina, I'm betting it is salt brine.
Here in New York State and other more northern states, they often go to a calcium chloride (just like we use for ballast in tractor tires), magnesium chloride or sodium chloride brine for extremely cold weather, when salt doesn't work very well. They are VERY corrosive.
