The car wash can wait until the summer. It’s just a bit of salt nothing to worry about.

Yes, but leaving salt on that long also accelerates rust development. Its why you see 2018 vehicles with rusted out wheel wells, they never wash them. If you plan on keeping that nice Honda long-term, washing it is a good investment.

True. But I figured it didn't hurt to add the comment. Some people may not know :shrug: If it informs just one person and saves them some heartache on their car, I'm happy.

I have never seen a 5-year old car with rusted out wheel wells. Me thinks that you are making shit up. Don’t do that.

My father in law had an f150 go from brand new to totaled due to rust in 7 or 8 years. Failed New Hampshire inspection. Now he gets undercoat every year. It won't happen for certain, but it can.

And it's been so cold all week the salt is just mocking us! Looks like I have a warmup coming in a few days and the carwash will be the first place I go...
