One silly idea I had was to cover the whole car in painters tape and just change out the tape once a week or so. It's a bit extreme but EVERYTHING shows up on NHBP so I want to keep it looking fresh.
What do you guys do during the winter?

Not much you can do beyond a solid waxing pre winter and regular washing of the salt and sand off the body. Read the owner's manual where they show exactly where to spray under the car and in the wheel well areas to remove the salt, etc. There are a couple car wash joints in my area where they have water shooting from under the car. Real nice in the winter.
Sad to say, after one winter my front end is rather chipped from the winter road covering as salt is not done in Calgary. Instead they sprinkle small stones on the roadways, most every car has a cracked windshield of course. Not mine, but it is coming.....a matter of time.
