I assume you can't easily hand wash since you're in an outdoor lot (but if there's any way you can wash the car by hand, do it). The no-touch wash is o.k. I have a carport and I still take mine to the no-touch when the temp dips below freezing. Try to find one that has an undercarriage spray and choose that option regularly (it doesn't cost that much extra). Many people dislike the no-touch because they use recycled water that contains road salt from other cars, but to me it's better than nothing. If you're only driving on weekends, you could wash every other week right after you've completed the weekend driving. I wash mine once a week during the winter but I drive the car daily. The best advice for rust prevention I can give is to make sure the wheel wells and undercarriage are thoroughly rinsed once in a while, and do a really good rinse in the spring after the road salt is gone. Also have the underside checked for any factory undercoating that may need touching up in the spring. Saabs are pretty good at resisting corrosion, by the way.
