Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Use the self service car wash once every couple weeks in winter and spray the salt off the body and undercarriage as best you can, a couple bucks in quarters goes a long way.

I usually head there the day after a snowstorm if I have been driving in the storm, once the roads are plowed. Do this after each big snow or more often if you are anal about blasting salt buildup like I am.

Been doing this with all my cars for years in Jersey with no issues with rusting, excessive corrosion, etc.

I put a nice coat of wax on prior to winter months and if I am lucky enough to get 2 complete car washes (I.e. with buckets, soap and mitts, and drying, not just spraying down with the car wash hose gun) during the winter I am happy. And come spring I give my car an awesome complete wash when it's warm enough in the driveway and no ill effects from the winter months to note.
