Don't use the rain wiper crap unless you want swirls and scratches in the paint. Stick with the leaf blower or you can get the metrovac master blaster.

Basically the less time you let the salt and crap sit on the car, the better. This is why I detail and apply a new coat of wax before winter hits. Rain is clean water, unless you live in area that gets a lot of acid rain....but thats why you protect the paint with wax.

Also remember to spray down the undercarriage.

If the car isn't too dirty, you can use Optima No Rinse, a bucket with warm water and a microfiber cloth. Works great and doesn't damage the paint.
