Your car is already 9-10 years old and likely without rust given its a california car. You're not going to get any significant rust development probably for another 8-9 years so I wouldn't sweat it.
I find the worst times for rust are when the temp hovers at or slightly above freezing, the roads collect the puddles of ultra concentrated salt water that splashes up into the undercarriage and engine bay.
Frequent washes and spraying down the undercarriage are probably the best. There was an article in the ny times about an old volvo p1800 doing well over 1 million miles in the new york area. That owner said all he did was hose down the undercarriage after driving in salty conditions.
