Designo Magno Paint Care in snowy Winter

About to pick up my Designo Magno Selenite Grey E63S sedan, and I was wondering how you guys take care of the paint in a snowy winter.

My SA claims that going through a touch less car wash is fine, but my research says otherwise.

Are you guys literally going to a self wash in sub zero weather?

We have it hand washed at a local performance shop once a week. Stays clean for 10 seconds or so but gets the salt off

Probably some (looked good at a glance) but am sure nothing that a power undercarriage wash would do. I will check next time as they are doing it in a detailing area. The guy takes about 30 minutes for exterior/interior.
