do it once a week,washing it after winter is over will be too late! the process has already started!

I'll probably won't own it that long so I don't give crap lol
if ya don't wash it regular throughout the winter,it'll be chewed up in probably less than 3 years,especially if your municipality uses the "liquid" de-icer
on the roads! that sh*t is brutal on metal,luckily most cities can't use it,because it's cost prohibitive.
