I don't have a choice. Vehicles disappear out here when one neglects the basics...........

Same here. There rate of decay is hard to describe. I have seen trucks rot out before they are paid off. Exhaust systems can go in 2 years if you don't get that salt off. Salt + heat + crossive exhaust gases+ steel = Rapid ROT
I have to say I own about 4 or 5 sets of those wader hangers some near the hose and some in my garage. When I come back the hang them near the hose, rise the outside and let them dry, then hang them in the boot hangers in the garage. ( I do the same with my gear (stuff on belt, plugs, plug bag reels rods ect)
Since I fish nearly every day it has become a habbit. The vehicle, I do a carwash once per week and drive thru some large FW puddles whenever I get the chance at the highest speed I can
. 2x per year I have it fully detailed. (May and Nov) (after ski and after fish season) IMO this saves my vehicles. I also don't put fish and bait inside my truck anymore...exterior cooler. Smells much nicer on a hot day now.
FWW is right, I honestly feel that the breathables work better if you rinse off and let dry the fabric...they sure feel better to get into the next time
I still have some rubber and neo waders and do the same to them, they just stay nicer that way.
