Knowing where you live, Steve, I sympathise.
Whilst we don't get much salt on the roads here, they do treat them, just not very often. Usually only when there is snow forecast which is rarely. However, what does the damage down here is the sun and its UV rays. It plays havoc with gel coat on paint, cloth upholstery, rubber and the perspex lenses on headlamps. I've had to re-polish the headlights twice on the Mem'Sahibs little Peugeot 107 as it lives outside all the time. Most of the older moderns round here look like they've got cataracts.
