nope.... just get a under flush at the car wash when your done... Cars shouldnt be out in the snow or salt.. thats a code of ethnic or atleast it should be
Honestly I've heard of people using "Undercoating". I've seen it sold at carquest. It's in an aerosol can 
Forms a protective layer between the part you coat any any salt or ****. 
It's that black rubbery stuff. Salt likes to get everywhere, though... best thing is to not drive it in the sslt. If you have to, undercoat it and wash it off really well every so often.

I find the best way to protect against salt and winter is to get the car rust proofed with an oil based treatment and not with that thick undercoating stuff. Thick undercoat, from what I understand, actually traps moisture, and so is not ideal. The metal has to breathe.

true, but also the most stupidest at the same time... but since he has to drive it year round i would do it, i guess
same here with the college....keep it washed after drives on really wet slushy salty roads
most car washes have undercarriage sprayers with so called "rust inhibitor" but it just is good to spray it off....also dry the door jambs / under the hatch / hood / gas fill area /around wheel wells. just get the salt / salty water outta there. You dont want water in there especially water with salt in it since thats where most rust starts.
i know it sucks to go through automatic washes and i usually freeze and do it myself but its better than salt...small scratches buff out come spring
Mines been fine for now..
