Get a protable pressure washer to rinse the kayak before you put it on top of your car. No salt, no problem.

Get a decent car wax and wax the roof every 2 to 3 months. That should keep the salt at bay. If you are going to use soap, then probably wax a bit more often.

I spent 3 hours waxing my car on Saturday, and detailing it.

It looks so good! but this weekend its going to have a bunch of sand dirt and slime all over it again

My pressure washer is a Nomad, but there are lots of others out there.

Not sure is Matt still provides his car-yak wash service but you might want to check with him. I stopped using him the day he showed up in high heels and a two piece bikini

You guys need to get your stories straight. Matt said you paid extra for the dress up.

Assuming if you have a roof rack, I'm not sure why salt would ever get on your roof... Of course, since I'm not able to see the picture you posted, perhaps you have don't have a roof rack.
