I'm gonna be spending a lot of time at the car wash this winter.

Man, I hope they don't use brine there! I drove mine from October until March and I won't do it again. It really rusted a lot of stuff. (Granted I put on over 10,000 miles on it in that time too) I had to go back and treat it and repaint the entire bottom side this summer. You can try spraying the entire underside with WD40. Supposedly that will not let the brine, salt, sand stick to the underside of the vehicle and start the rust process. I washed my underside indoors once a week, but it still didn't help.
