silicone spray?

We've had some nicer days lately in Michigan (at least for this time of year), so I've been tempted to take the bike out for a ride (it might get up to 60 tomorrow). However, I'm worried about the water and the salt on the roads doing damage. Can you spray silicone, for example, on the frame or other parts of the bike to help offer at least some protection? What do you guys do other than wiping down the bike after a ride in these conditions?

Thanks,

Keith
