depending on how bad your mats are you can use the following
Interior Brush 1Z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner Microfiber Towel Metro Vac What we did on the Porsche mats were spritz the plastic deep cleaner on the mats, then we used a brush to agitate, then a clean towel to pull the salt from it. After did a nice vac on them. |

How do you suggest we care for the salt and stuff when we don't have the luxury of an inside spot to wash the car?

There are a few ways. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1nI7Td5eqA"]How to Wash your car in Winter: Ferrari F40 - YouTube[/ame] You can google for a few other. The rinseless wash can work as well...note the word can. Personally, i go to one of the self car washes and just wash off the salt with the high pressure water. I still have synthetic wax on car which does last me the whole harsh winter, which is why i don't use any of the soap from the self wash places - since the soap can remove the wax. I also don't dry the car either, since i know there's still dirt on the paint that will only cause swirl marks.

do what Larry is doing in the video, but cost are high for a good steamer, or go to a good coin op or touch less wash, or a trusted detailer in your area.

Is there a spray that I can use to remove grime and dirt? I want to rinse the car, spray "special spray that you will recommend" and then rinse the car again and 70-90% of the dirt and grime is removed... without touching the car? Then I will do an agitated car wash.
