Undercarriage maintenance.

I live in the mid-Atlantic where they salt/brine the roads for winter storms.
To help maintain my 235 I hose the wheel-wells and underside.

Do you think the stream of water dries out bushing and pivot points?
And is there s spray you can hit the flexible cv boots and bushings with that adds lubrication and protection?

Silicon I though damages rubber, WD-40 and other oils also would think we're damaging. Glycerin is what I use on weather stripping, but I was looking for purpose spray to hit underside of shock towers, half-shaft boots, rubber hangers and suspension points with, anyone know anything good to use ?

I use Griot's garage products and have been very satisfied.On any parts that are rubber or vinyl like most of those you are describing, I use their vinyl and rubber dressing .
I do that same underside cleaning every Spring because I want to get all the salt residue removed.The rain and moisture the rest of the year probably does more damage than hosing down the underside once a year. And that is why I use a protectant on all the vinyl and rubber parts of my cars.

I like the Griots.
Been spraying the underside every time I wash my car, but am going to stop doing that. Maybe down to 2-4 times a year.
