Thumbs down road salt sucks and cold weather hurts

i just hand washed my car in my driveway. that was very painful my fingers feel like they might fall off or something. this is the last time im washing my car untill it is warm again. can all that road salt crap eat into your paint? that is why i washed it i dont want those chemicals sitting there to long on my paint.

YUP,
If your gonna drive it in the snow atleast have a very good barrier on the paint to protect it like wax. And you dont have to handwash it alot, just after you drive it on salty weather take it to the pressure washer and blast all the shit off it and get under the car too.

This is why I dont drive my nice shit in the snow.
Ask kevin he prolly can fill you in on more shit, he is one of those detailer nerds. His saleen looks like it was just painted

... people who can't afford a second vehicle or the added insurance. Am sure if another vehicle were available, the nicer one would be parked.
