me too!



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



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.



i'm with you! f**k it! i bought the car to enjoy,and that's what car washes are for! do it regular,and sleep good at night! just sayin'
This. Wash it relatively soon after driving on salt roads. Being wet is better than being salty. The heat from the car being driven plus air rushing under will dry most of the water anyway even in winter weather. I managed to keep my 95 240sx's body rust free (not an easy task believe me) after 10 winters and countless treks in the salt covered NJ roads.

The only rusty things on the car were the aftermarket suspension stuff. figures...
