what is everyone using for salt removal?

IMO:
A “traditional” car wash is the best
road salt removal method.

But when temperatures don’t allow the use
of a traditional car wash, then spraying the
vehicle with some Salt Away, or similar spray-
on salt removal products, prior to the use of
my local Touchless car wash facility is second
best...or at least better than just not bothering
trying to remove the road salt at all.

After growing up in Ohio, into my mid-20s, it is my opinion that no matter what you do to remove salt you are fighting a losing battle. The salt creeps into every crack, crevice and seam and nothing you can do will remove it completely.

Washing may help a bit but it certainly is no cure.

For those of you who have lived in salt areas your entire life this may be hard to comprehend, but once I moved to CA and saw the difference it was a real awakening.

If I ever moved back to Ohio I would undoubtably have a "beater" to drive in the winter months while my nice stuff sat in a garage.

I would also suggest a touch-free wash to get the top layer off, as well as the nooks and crannies and underneath. Just try and stay ontop of it but I still suggest AMMO NYC Frothe

Like many here my solution too is the touchless car wash. If the car is covered in salt, I'll wait for a day that is above/close to freezing and run it through a touchless car wash. If there is an unseasonably warm day, I'll give the vehicles a traditional hand wash.

Touchless car washes aren't perfect and won't get a vehicle as clean as a hand wash, but with coatings on my vehicles, very little salt and grime is left behind. It's enough to keep them respectable until the weather warms up.
My favorite touchless wash has an undercarriage spray too which is VERY handy and does a much better job than I could at home with a power washer or hose.

Uh, after 5pm in which time zone? I think that might be part of my problem in getting good results.

Where was Ammo 25 years ago when I could have used it on a Lexus I had that rusted behind the windshield...... even with weekly washing in the salty winter.

Me. Keep it simple. Get a bucket of soap and water. And wash the paint.

That'll remove the dirt and the salt.

Of course---hose as much of dirt and salt as possible before washing.
