There are a few self-serve wash stations which will be good enough to do touchless soap and spray to get the salt off. It's not gonna be pristine but it's good enough for me.
They use magnesium chloride here to help the snow melt. The stuff is nasty. When it dries, it becomes a semi-conductor. Down in Denver, they have had power outages due to the mist build up in the power lines and then the power lines shorting out. Can't imagine what it does to the cars.
