I use the "Rinse or Shower" option on the hose nozzle for minimal pressure and it does the job pretty well w/o the mess.

I tried on that setting but then it just isn't enough to get the salt off and its easier if I just wait to take it to a car wash.

Really. I didn't think that could happen. Drive to Florida, wash it, and come back....

Yeah, even chilly down here in SW FLA..."chilly" being relative.
45 degs F for our 8:00 AM tee time. Maybe got to 65, but it was
good enough to give the CEO's car a quick wash after chasing the ball.

The tree frog, nocturnal, was huddled pretty tight on the Ti plant
while it slept all day, however.

Gee, I really miss fookin winter. ...

mine too is also really white and its suppose to be black!

i figured cleaning it, and then driving it in windchills of -40 isn't a good idea since the water would freeze so i let it get dirty.

Am I doing the wrong thing?

I've had mine for 4 winters with the same conditions. I do wash it, but not when it's this cold. I use a high pressure washer at the self car wash, it's too cold to use my own pressure washer. I haven't had any spots of rust yet. If I see anything, it will get fixed by a friend who is a pro.

Unless you live in an area where it constantly snows and salt is fairly constant, rust from it won't be much to worry about.

I've never understood buying black cars anywhere it snows more than a little. They're hard to keep clean even in summer..
