This may sound like sort of a dumb question for some since 845 is made to be durable, but I'll go ahead and ask since I live in the south east and typically do not see much winter weather. Plus, I am not really sure what the true durability of 845 really is. Unfortunaley this season has been colder and has had much more snow than any year I can recall living in the south east.
I last waxed my car with Collonite 845 x2 mixed with Polycharger CH2 around the middle of October, and usually have washed my car weekly or bi weekly since. For a while it has been too cold for handwashing, for me at least, and sadly my car has not been washed for about a month and a half.
Its pretty despressing considering this is the longest I have ever went without washing my car. Usually 3 or 4 weeks at the most is the longest I have went prior. I don't drive the car when wintry weather is on the ground, but since my last wash my car has seen the nasty road brine stuff a couple times, all of a sudden they have started layering this mess on the roads even if flurries are called for it seems. Then I have been caught in rain a couple times, thanks to the always right weatherman (sarcasm
).
Do I have anything be concerned about with the road brine could cause pitting or fading, or any other damage to the finish if it left on for a perior of time? This is really my main concern. With the 845 applied twice Polycharged, should this provide plenty of protection on the finish against the elements thus far?
My car has always seen hand washes, never been to a coin op in its life, so I have been holding out for the next somewhat decent day to wash it hopefully this weekend. I know that there's Optimum No Rise (actually use it as a quick detailer), and other waterless washes, but the car is to the point where a good handwash is truly necessary. What do you guys think, should the Collinite 845 still be providing good protection to my car against this so far?

I am hoping that this weekend is warm like they are calling for, it is about time
