+1 I would pick up a bottle of Collinite and wax it every other month. Wash weekly. At least bi weekly and a car cover is a must. Salt air is one of the toughest things to deal with. These will help but it is almost impossible to fight air. These will help prevent it as much as possible. Also consider having the undercarrage sprayed. Most people forget this until their foot goes through the floor
