AFAIK, the worst is "wet and salty" - i.e. when the roads are covered in liquid water due to snow being melted by road salt.
Then that ultra-salty slushy, dirty mixture gets flung everywhere. Ever park by a car and see splash marks across the entire side of the car from the front wheel well all the way to the back door? Now think about all the nooks and crannies inside your car and that same mixture being slammed into them.
Makes me shudder when I see some guy driving an S2000 or brand new 5-series BMW covered in road salt. I see it every once in a while around here.
Actually....when it's wet and splashed up on your car....you can see where it's going.
When it's dry and dusty......it gets everywhere, much like dust does on a dirt road.
either way.......it's no good!
