About how long can salt remain on a vehicle before the salt will start damaging the paint? Also, does temperature play into this? I`ve had salt on my vehicles for about 2 weeks now, as it`s been too cold to wash them. I`m getting concerned about what affect this is having on the paint. Having said that, someone said that as long as the temperature stays below 32 degrees the salt won`t eat or damage the paint. Is this true?
The above could probably start another topic about washing in the cold. What would people prefer: use no soap and just rinse the salt off with water and don`t dry, (this will give water spots, and I don`t want them getting etched into the clear,) or do nothing and just leave the salt on your vehicle.
I don`t have a heated garage.
