When you live in an area where the temps. are consistently below freezing, there is not much choice... washing by hand is not an option... it is either let the salt and sand eat your car or take it through the wash every so often. Not everyone lives in sunny CA or FL where it is possible to hand wash 365/yr.
Personally, I wax my car thoroughly in the fall - including wheels - and in the winter when the snow flies, I go to a do-it-yourself place and just use the wand to get most of the salt/crud off. This helps alleviate the issues with swirling brush marks and scuffed alloy wheels... and seems to get me through until April/May when I can wax and begin hand washing again.
The SAAB finish holds up well and I have no marks/aftermath from taking this approach.
