yea i put this stuff on in the winter called ReJeX. its pretty damn good on the paint its like a wax but not as pasty...it basically keeps everything easily removeable, like i get no salt buildup which is nice.

I took mine to a "quarter" wash yesterday and sprayed it with the high pressure and then drove home and touched it up with some QD. That does the trick for his type of weather, I was actually admiring who great it looked at lunch.

just hook a hose up to your kitchen/bathroom sink and run it out your apt/house and give your baby a nice warm water bath... helps to dissolve the salt off. i also have a circle grass sprinkler head i attach and move that through the under carriage. no need for any scrubbing that might scratch the car with the salt. having a good coat of wax always helps.

salt is bad. warm water is good.

Dover and Hackettstown and Byram.

I bring it to the quarter wash and spray the wheels with wheel cleaner to remove most brake dust and then power wash the car to get all loss sand and salt off....then I go to the automated wash. Otherwise the automated wash grinds in the sand and salt before it removes it and never gets the brake dust good.

You can also try QEW or ONR if you don't have a garden hose.
