The equivalent of swimming against the current and on some of the days arriving unscathed was good enough for me but over the last 4 weeks my paintwork has come under attack for grit/salt/snow/ice/dirt + slush + ice and the interior has seen better days.

Once its clean I expect a good wax would be the best protection. Not driving on the gritted roads too.
