I have a friend who washes his car everytime he drives in salt. He has rust on his 06 civic Si already, that he bought in the end of 05!
Washing your car a lot during winter is not necessarily a good idea...
Here's the thing most ppl don't know... rust only happens when salt, water and air meet.
On a dry and cold day, if I have a film of salt on my car... i don't wash it, though most ppl would.
As soon as I see rain/snow or a wet/slushy day, I wash and dry my car before driving in it and after.
Also... its a good idea to wax/seal your car before winter and once winter is over.
I have an 04 civic, don't have the smallest area with rust. Same for my 03 Z33. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not one of the early posters, but my NX is a 1992. Sprayed virtually every year by Canadian Shield in Kitchener (like early Rust Check and Krown). There isn't a bolt rusted on - working on it is a dream, except I need lots of hand cleaner! LOL
