why not gain access to a lift or get the car on jackstands. then coat underside and wheel wells with 3M(or like brand) undercoating? whole job should take 4-5 cans and they are $3-$6 a piece. the savings alone is worth it and the shit lasts longer than one year ---

In their brochure they state it does not matter if the vehicle is new, somewhat rusty, or a rusty pos. Any prevention will help. Also, their brochure had a $10 off coupon (Make sure you grab one off the stack when you walk in) which they let me use. That covered the cost of a spray can of the same stuff on my truck to use on my snowblower, car, house, etc… Application is once every 12 months. Total cost for Ext.

Hell, I may even take my MR2 there even though it does not see salt because the coating protects against moisture which can damage other things. ---

ive used 40wt motor oil and motor honey before. sprayed it on with a eastwood undercoating gun. thin a little with kerosene and it sprays on better. you have to adjust the air pressure down till it starts coming out like snot. Brian ---

i havent read this whole thing but oil treatments like ‘rust-check’ are obsolete. the guy who started rust-check sold it. He found a better way to rust-proof cars but didnt beleive that he could rebrand the oily, smelly, drippy rep of rust-check. his new company is calles ‘corrosion free’. We are using it in Canada at a few locations. You can literally spray this stuff right beside another vehicle… there is no smell, no drip, and almost no over spray… you barely need protective clothing… it’s incredible. I would recommend finding a local guy using the corrosion free application and make a habit of that. oil spraying is retarded.
