Boy I tell yea even driving on the dry roads the car gets covered with that corrosive ****, have to wash a lot.

 

my balt sits in a garage when the salt comes

 

I wash it at least one time a week to get all that crap off.

 

i wash like once a month because its just not worth it

 

mines covered in the ****!

 

mines under a car cover all winter until late march early april

 

Same here

 

mine is nasty but i get my bumper fixed on monday... im sure those guys will wash it for me :]

 

my balt is a daily driver here in chicago, the salt sucks, but my beef is with the sub zero temps, the cars suspension is wayy firmer at arctic temps... Its like having another car when it warms back up to 30s...

the salts kinda fun when you go wot in 2nd and 3rd

 

Just brought mine to the car wash today and its already getting covered again. Its a good car wash though, they do the undercarriage wash and then spray on a rust inhibitor. After the body gets washed and waxed it gets a clear coat protectant.

And noisy as $hit!

 

Those automatic washes are sooo bullshit.

Anywho, mine is covered from the top of the roof to the bottom of my doors in that ******* ****. I washed it five days ago too. It's just not worth it, but I know I should be washing it to keep my clear coat safe. I guess I'm gonna be shining the **** out of it in Spring!!

 

The salt is even getting into my interior from my shoes.

 

I forget the original colour of my car

Edit: oh ya...now i remember, i just looked at my sig

 

its salty, i get a free midwinter, birthday wash at the car wash in Feb. which will be nice.

 

lol i know what you mean

like today it was in the mid 20s and the sun was out and my car handled way better than when it was freezing ass out

 

We had ice last Tuesday (Texas) and the stuff they put down is still all over the place, but it's dry now and they say it's going to take a few weeks to sweep it all up.
No rain any time soon to wash it off the roads.
Still not as bad as it will be later in the year when the bugs come out as far as having to wash the car a lot.

 

It's like this..

 

Be sure to wash out those wheelwells, and get down on the ground with that hose/pressure washer and spray off the undercarriage too! The brakes also deserve a de-salting.

Under the hood, just douse aluminum surfaces with WD-40. It won't hurt a thing, and it really arrests corrosion on the engine, trans, PCM, you name it.

Spray the radiator and intercooler hard too...this corrosive substance loves to just sit in there and eat your stuff alive!

 

i took mine to the car wash and forgot it was victory red..i thought i had a white balt for the longest time..

 

yeah man, i know what you mean. i wash my car almost twice a week

Yah I always hand wash my cars...but in 10 and 20 degree temperatures Ive got no choice.

 

Its not a ss/tc but a pictures are worth 1000 words...lol

 

Make the dealer wash the car free if you know how to trick them into doing it lol have them just check the car but make sure they have those things were you get a car wash for any kind of service lol I have the dealer check my car and when they find something say no to whatver they or yes if you want them to fix whatever it is lol but you come out with a complimantory wash weather permiting lol

 

i work in a body shop i have acess to a car wash bay and its heated water so im usually clean ...my car is spoiled it gets washed off atleast power washed in the morning as soon as i get to work when the weather is bad i dont like the road grim

 

I just desalted my balt 50' F today, I spray underneath until it is clean the salt and sand run down the driveway and the sun will dry it.
