A solution of warm water and a small amount of vinegar will get rid of the salt stains. The vinegar breaks down the salt making it easy to clean.

I hear ya. New England winters completely destroy daily drivers. It's a full time job trying to keep your car clean and prevent it from rotting away with the truck loads of salt they dump on the roads.

I use this same method, however the leather seats can be a bit more stubborn.
