Andrew, 4wds are frequently driven in water, they are frequently driven in rain, they are frequently driven on beaches, and the atmosphere almost always contains a humidity level greater than 0%.
So they are similar to boats, some of which spend most of their life on a trailer rather than in the water.:)
I think you are wrong about no electrical currents when different metals are in contact, I believe that to be true. This condition exists in vehicles, which are subject to moisture from the atmosphere or condensation. Ever seen a 60 series or troopy with rust in the roof ? The cars didn't have to be immersed in water that high to rust, they rust up there due to condensation and the differrent metals in the panel and the welds.
I agree with cleaning cars to minimise corrosion, but it's bloody hard to wash a 60 series under the roof lining.....or inside the inner guards, or
places where the corrosion sets in.
Cheers
