[] I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations on car rustproofing. I recently bought a Mazda GLC sedan which has factory rustproofing and a 3 year anti-perforation warranty. I want to enhance its protection against the salty Canadian winters. Should I: 1) Have more rustproofing done (and by whom)? 2) or have oil-spraying done? I've heard a few good things about oil spraying, but I'd like to hear any and everyone's views on this topic! I'll summarize to the net if I get enough response. Thanks...Brian Doody, Univ. of Waterloo, Ontario. bcdoody@wateng

Rustproofing is fine and good but consider a regular touch up maintenance program. A little ding from a pebble chips the paint, the ding then rusts and grows into a"rust spot". No rustproofing on this feable planet can prevent this. Wash your car whenever possible during the winter and touch up whenever possible. You can wash a car at 20 degrees if the sun's out.

1980: I bought a Chevy Blazer 4WD truck and had it rustproofed at
the Chevy dealer with Rusty Jones rust treatment.
1984: It's rotting now like all the other 1980 (and 79 and 78 ...)
Blazers.
