Rust proof ? - Montreal salty winters

Summer end is near and winter/snow it's a couple of months ahead.

I live in Montreal, and the city uses salt to melt the snow and ice on the roads.
Anyone have experience with this ? It's worth it to do the rust proof treatment to an X5 2009?

Thanks

I live in Toronto, lots of salt. I think you can not lose by using Crown. I want the car to last a long time.
