this morning I noticed the first signs of ice on my windscreen.

next will be all the gritters and road salt.

I use my car daily and wash my car weekly but any tips to make sure I remove as much of the road salt from the car?

I am guessing spraying the arches and using a pressure washer, what about the rear underside?

Yes.

I've just winterised my car with " Bilt Hamber" very good stuff, however the idea is not to wash the protection off with a stupidly power fighting water lance!
Use a Jose pipe with gentle pressure and COLD water to rinse the heavy salt deposits off at least once a week!

Sorry that idiot Jose has nothing at all to do with it, so use a hose pipe.

You can buy it in 750 ml aerosols or if you have a compressor and spray gun. The big thing is the car must be clean and dry underneath or you seal in mud and moisture.
