I was reading an article the other day you may want to check out since you live somewhere that uses a lot of brine. The article stated heated garages allowed the brine to be more corrosive because of the temperature inside. This article was advocating leaving the vehicle outside until it could be washed off. Not sure if it is true but I'd consider it if I had to deal with that all winter long.

Thankfully where I live in VA we don't see much snow and they do not use a lot of salt...mainly sand and cinders.
