Good idea. Mine spends 99.9% of its non-driving time in a warm garage so I'm hoping that, with an occasional underbody rinse, staves off the worst of it.
Hmm, increased temp might actually increase the corrosion reaction. On the other hand, drying due to that temp helps. Depends how long she's gonna stay. The car that is.

Went for a nice twisty drive on asphalt and gravel, and wow is it fun.. guess I wouldn't talk to the car the way I do if I had passengers 
The mudflaps are really doing a great job!

very nice, where did you anchor the shoulder straps to
It mounts to the rear seat belt point on the C pillar. Its the same one as Lauren fitted .

First decent sunny day, so went for a drive and then a wash this evening for the first time in 9 months
That will be dangerous if you have an accident. The shoulder straps are very close together and will be on your neck. The shoulder straps should be guided at a safe width . You will be seriously hurt with this set up in an accident

The anchor point should be behind the seat
- if it’s on the C pillar the seat will want to twist or be pulled toward the anchor point in an accident. This will put a lot of force into the seat angle It wasn’t intended for.
This will cause serious injury to your neck as the shoulder straps arent guided, are too close together and not anchored correctly.
It’s not my car and not my business so don’t take this the wrong way but that is a textbook way how NOT to use a harness.
Valid concerns. Have similar concerns with kits changing the mounting of the seat, in an accident with high G and high forces, where will the seat end up? And not so unlikely as it is a popular mod, in combination with a harnass like this, it's possible it will all be hanging of your neck - or what is left of it...

I appreciate your concern and thank you for mentioning this.
The harness I have fitted however, is designed by Schroth to mount to the C pillar as it is a single pick up point and the shoulder straps are off set so as to pull equally.
The extension in the shoulder strap is designed to pivot your torso and energise the lap belt and outer shoulder strap so you don’t slide under the lap belt (effectively making it a 3point belt like normal seatbelt).
Technically it might work and if you feel safe that’s the main thing but for me having an offset anchor point makes your neck the fulcrum point in an accident the seat and your body is going to be twisted. The seat doesn’t have harness slots so this set up will cause serious injury IMO. They look very close together so if it tightens it’s your neck and if it widens you fall out of it.
Honestly I wouldn’t use this set up
I think a CG lock would be more beneficial and safer if you could find one.
