YES...... parts of the vehicle anyway.
Road Salt can get into the cracks and crevices and start the oxidation and rusting process, which is a chemical reaction. Salt can have a damaging effect on steel surfaces and can speed up the corroding process.
The good news is .... if the car is properly polished, the effect is not too bad.
The best way to avoid the ravages of Road Salt is to wash it frequently during the “Salt Season” which is normally November to April. Waxing your vehicle before the Salt Season is a great preventative step!

Why Should You Clean the Snow Off Your Vehicle?
Because it's the LAW!!!
In the winter it is important to clear all snow and ice from your vehicle. This not only prevents a hazard from snow and ice that may fall from your vehicle, it also provides for an unobstructed view.
Driving with snow on your vehicle roof could land you a fine and points, but could be even worse if you are involved in an accident because of snow falling off your vehicle the police may prosecute for careless or inconsiderate driving.
When snow or ice is dislodged or falls from a moving vehicle and strikes another vehicle or pedestrian causing death or serious bodily injury the vehicle operator can be subject to a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 for each offense.
This should give all drivers that extra incentive to remove the snow from most parts of theirvehicle before they set off.
AND Turn On Your Headlights:
A change in the law recently invoked that when your windshield wipers are on, so should your lights.
