Protecting our E-classes from Salt on Wintry Roads
Now that we've entered the phase of Northern Hemisphere winter when snow may be falling, many places have (or will soon be) starting to salt the streets. Please share your best tips and advice to protect our cars from salt related corrosion!

For $3 there is a DIY pressure washer place. I get underneath the car and get all the salt off as needed. If I drive a lot I’ll go once a week. This year is well very strange so haven’t been yet.

I'd like to know the statistics... How many MB owners: 1) have more than one car, and 2) how many is that?
Not to appear snooty, but I have 4 cars at my home and drive the "beater" when there is salt on the roads.

One Corvette for cruising the Texas hill country, one E450 sedan for cruising/shopping/traveling, and one Toyota Tundra pickup for all the ranch crap. No salt here, just bad drivers.

Buy a monthly car wash pass. Make sure you use the touchless. That way you will not scratch up the car. I would get it done weekly at least

Canadians are quite scarce this year because the border is closed. There are many more New Yorkers, Michiganders and Minisotans than in prior years. They swim while I shiver by the fireplace. Our condo keeps the pool at 90f/32c year round.
