Best routine for washing off road salt?

[quaggers]

Hello all, 

I normally commute to work by train, but due to the landslip at Hook a couple of weekends ago I had to come to the office part of the way this morning in my beloved (and slightly rusty already) Rover P6. As you can imagine it is now covered in horrible salt. 

So my question is what methods do people use to remove road salt after a journey like this? I am thinking that I should probably stay away from the pressure washer for fear of forcing it into any overlapping panel joints etc, but any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I was always told plenty of cold water either from a bucket or hose and the earlier the better.
However if its still a risk of frost then it's better to wait as water freezing on the car can give more problems with stuck door locks, water expanding as it freezes causing damage to parts and panels.

I imagine that road salt is similar to sea salt.
Look for a product that boat owners use to clean down their boats and or flush out engines that have run in the sea.
To access the village where I live the only road is frequently battered by rising sea so I end up driving over and through sea water when the weather is not behaving.
I use CRC Salt Terminator but there are other brands available.
You can also use it a preventative for salt issues.
