Doing anything else is a waste of time.
Hopeless to attempt to keep ahead of salt damage...been there, tried that.
The newer car bodies hold up quite well, it's all the things attached to underside of car which rot, and quite quickly.
Make enough money to replace car every two years....your best option if you must stay in salted street climate.
I grew up in salt country, moved away from it for about thirty years, made the mistake of moving back for about five years. Relearned my lesson. Now I'm out of salt country for good. Few car repairs and in a warmer climate utility bills are way less. Just makes sense to me.
If I were the president, I'd outlaw salt on roads, require four snow tires on all vehicles being driven in snow/ice.

I would absolutely love to move elsewhere. I've complained about the salted roads for years. Unfortunately that isn't in the cards for a while, despite my wishes. I just need to invest in a lift and then I can power wash the underbody all the time..
