"i think the county uses magnesium chloride but i can’t see how that would be an issue on a dry day?"

If if gets caked on the roads like it does around here, the underside of car, wheel wells, etc will get coated in the dust. Run through a puddle or some rain, and instant salt bath in all the nooks and crannies where the corrosion begins. Of course it will not rust overnight, but if you want to keep it nice for the next owner or two... I am probably being a little anal, but back in the day these cars would rust out in just a few years! My 71 demon was already a rust bucket daily driver when I purchased in 82!

I know a lot of people that will not take their classics out of winter storage until we have had a good rain or two to wash the road salt into the rivers and lakes, which of course is a another discussion....

With all that said, your area uses far less salt and chemical compared to here in the rust belt, so likely much less of a concern in your scenario.
