Now cars last for years and years before they start showing salt caused rusting.

"...mag chloride is corroding rubber car parts faster than in the past,
he said. “We see the windshield wipers lasting half as long as they used to,” he said. “We see all kinds of corrosion underneath the car.”Electrical components, covered in plastic, often corrode and trip
check engine lights. Brodin then has to check the electrical system to determine what’s going on. If the plastic wire covers are gone, Brodin
sprays a sealer on the wires to prevent further electrical problems.
Car rust and corrosion are caused by acid created when a salt is
dissolved by the moisture in the air. Rock salt remains a crystal until
the humidity reaches 70 percent, which doesn’t happen much during the
winter. But magnesium chloride dissolves when there is only about 20 to
30 percent humidity. “Which means that your vehicle if magnesium
chloride is sprayed on it, is wet constantly,” Baboian said. The acid
stays on your car and slowly eats away at the paint and metal."
