Salt? Well maybe but the quantity fo water sprayed about

wet road...

assuming that the wet road has no saltt ...

In which case there really is no point in washing the car.

If there is mud how does the salt get behind it?

mud is not waterproof.
I think they are putting something in the water. I have never heard so
many stupid things as lately


If it can't and you remove the mud. Salt will be trapped behind any
new mud that collects.

If it is carried in by capillary action, salt free water will also be
carried in by capillary action.

Car's aren't the rust buckets they used to be. Not that long ago if a
5 year old car didn't have rust bubbles in the paintwork there was
something wrong with it.
