I don't believe the salt, etc. does much damage in the short term and as long as it stays cold, below freezing. I wash my cars as often as I can and THOROUGHLY hose off the wheelwells and undercarriage. The other thing is to fix any small chips, cracks, etc. in the paint as soon as you can making sure you get all the rust. I am hoping this keeps the corrosion at bay. RT
