A 'salt' on the Audi - Criminal!

["Graydon D. Stuckey" <graydon@apollo.gmi.edu>]

All,

	My inclination is to not wash the car at all over the winter.  I 
don't want to get water into the cracks and crevices of the chassis, and 
I don't want the water to carry the salt to those far reaching places 
either.  Storing indoors is also a no-no.  The heat/cold cycling can 
damage the body seams because the water freezing in the seams can split them 
open.  I realise that the paint takes a beating, but if it has a good 
coat of wax, it should be OK in the spring.  Besides, it is easier to 
repaint, than to replace the body:-)

	Just my .02.  I don't claim to be an expert on salt.  (or 
anything else for that matter:-)
