I certainly have a different slant on washing a car during the winter. I live in Vermont where our state and municipal road crews use a ton of salt. I try to do it only on a warm day and actually only a few times per winter. Here is my reasoning. When a car is coated with salt and you apply water, it seeps into all the little spots and rusts from the inside out. I have a 1990 240 and have done this for 3 years and had have great success. The car was originally from a salt free state and still remains rust-free. I have also done the same with a rust-free VW Jetta with the same outcome. Just my .02
