I'm east of you but still in road salt country.
Vehicles rust out, brake lines and fuel lines
rust out. Electrical connections on vehicles go
bad. It's really miserable. Even car washing in
the spring doesn't much help.

I wash my cars all winter, whenever we get a minimal break
in the weather. Anything above freezing is good enough
for me. I have a hot water spigot for the hose and use
that for the wash water. I also use the 2 bucket method
to keep the wash water clear of salt and other debris.

On rare occasions, when I just can't get to it myself, I
will go to a touch-less car wash.
