 I really don't understand people who write such things? Does the Z corrode quicker or more so than any other car? I seriously doubt it. "Salt can chip the hell of your paint"? again, what absolute tosh If you occasionally wash your car, including the bottom side of the car, during the winter there is no reason for corrosion to occur. I've driven my Audi in winter conditions for years and never got ANY corrosion happening on any part of the car. You have to stop with your paranoia and encouraging false beliefs to spread. |

 I like that British word  Obviously the car wont wither away, it is personal preference for some who choose to keep their Z garaged. Salt is corrosive point blank. If you take care of your car correctly during the winter than more power to you. Here are some tips for protecting against salt damage: Protecting Your Car from Road Salt

 Washing the car with WARM water in the buckets makes it much less miserable when its cold out. But makes you have to pee a lot  anyone have any tips or special brushes they use for snow removal? my car stays in the garage at night, but i drive it to work. i imagine those regular bristles will scratch the paint pretty easily. |

 Otherwise you could use a boar hair brush to wipe the snow off
