do you have access to a heated garage?
if not...bare minimum should be a weekly manual rinse with a self wash sprayer. make sure to rinse the salt off of the underside of the car...that's where a lot of the damage will take place from winter.
if you DO get into a heated garage...i'd still use the above spray tip for removing the large amounts of dirt/salt...but then follow up in the garage with an ONR wash. then, it's up to you as far as polishing and protection. i wouldn't bother with a full detail until spring, but simply getting a good layer of wax/sealant on there is a good idea (collinite, zaino, UPP, etc)
