it takes a while before the ice melts and after it melts..you have to consider the fact that youll be driving in a cold weather and tons of snow/ice melting on the street so the roads will stay wet for days.
ice,snow and salt will be on your cara and it wont look nice at all but a good car wash will get all of that off.
better if you winterize your car first before the snow hits so itll be faster and better for the paint as the salt and grime will wash off faster and better.
on an average winter..i normally run my SUV to the carwash 3times a week.i just dont like the salt drying on my paintjob.
