Wow op. Been there. Looks like those headlight washers are doing a poor job at keeping the lenses clean.
My 3 series stays in my garage during the winter. Some of you may think it's crazy but to me, I've been there and done that with a nice car. Salt rust the rotors, gets all up in the engine bay and under body. I rather preserve and protect my investment. I'm fortunate enough to be able to have a second car to drive.

Plus you then have added costs for Gas, Insurance, the actual clunker... VS simply buying snow tires. I have driven an E90 for the past six years, and wouldnt have it any other way. Perfect DD year round.

it doesn't bother me to much... i wash mine every week, if i see that much salt I'll wash it right away.
I have a season pass for car washes though... 90 days and it works out to 2.50 a wash... you always have to make sure you winter prep your car though. |

Wow and to think I complain about salt in Maryland...that's an entirely different level.

I don't think the southerners can appreciate the amount of salt on the road, or why we need it, but damn it makes a mess of stuff. I have an E30 that's parked until the rain has fully washed the salt off the road for this reason. |

Unfortunately Quebec is known for there use of road salt and as a result the rest of Canada tends to steer clear of any car from that province, all the aluminum is corroded with a thick chalky residue and corrosion, not to mention every other piece of metal on the car.....sorry.

Ugh... looks just like my car. I think I'm going to have to find a touchless wash that's open; the DIY hand wash bay place down the street isn't open when it's too close to freezing I don't dare take it through a non-brushless car wash after having a paint correction done...
