Whether it’s the morning swim at Bronte, the coastal walk from Bondi, or the simple pleasure of an afternoon ocean breeze, the lifestyle here is enviable.  However, that coveted ocean breeze carries an invisible element that is relentless in its ability to degrade our homes: airborne chlorides, or as we know it, salt spray.  Most of us are well-versed in the “coastal maintenance tax.” We know we need to rinse the salt off our cars after they’ve been parked on the…
