I will be driving mine all Winter. It's all I will have to drive. I'll do what I've done every year before....(go to Griz's!)....wash it outside when conditions warrant. When the soap freezes on the car....stop washing!

As a last resort, I have used low pressure washers. I figured it was better than having the snot on the car! THese days they use a God awful Calcium or Manganese Chlorides on the roads that may not be as corrosive as Sodium Chloride but the overall appearance is very displeasing!

I also wax the heck out of the vehicle this month (Indian Summer time in Pac Northwest) as a last ditch effort to protect it. I also went the extra mile and bought a hard top, it has got to help!
