I do not have the time or inclination to wash down the bikes every day. I have been using Boeshield T9 for a while now and it seems to work well. Roads in Chicagoland are very heavily salted in the winter and I just coat the chain and cassette every other day or so. Pivot points on brakes, derailleurs get it once or more a week. That build up of black crawling horror at least keeps the rust from forming.
