Default Winter prep

What is the best way to prepare my rig for the winter months. There is going to be alot of salt on it. I have "iced" it but I was wondering if there is anything additional that could or should be done.

I'm not doing anything different to mine. Although I wash under the vehicle every time I pass a car wash. I hate salt[:@], especially the **** they use here in PA.[:'(]

Best advise I can give for the winter season..

#1. Apply a good coat of Maguires NXT Tech wax (easy excellent stuff), Do even all the door sills and door edges.

#2. Give it weeky, if not more, fresh water wash downs on above freezing days..Try to find the places that have undercarriage washers.
