How to prevent rust from salt
What do you guys in the north where there is lots of road salt do to protect your car? Do you oil spray?

Open garage door sometime in early November before the first state truck sighting, insert Camaro, don't remove until state truck hibernation and a few good rain showers. Thus no salt problem.
Oil would be bad, that would be a glue to hold onto everything including salt. |

So you think the oil spray that tons of people get is worse than not having anything? |

Drive it.
I live in Nevada where the roads are SALT. Have driven mine in complete storms. Car looked like a salt lick. washed it 4 times in 2 months. The car comes with a rust free warranty. No need to hide a beautiful car like this. Drive the crap out of it! Wash it. |

The oil spray treatment goes back to the early days of the automobile.
After spraying the whole undercarriage down with heavy oil owners would take the car out on a dirt road or field and mix all the dust with the oil as a form of rust proofing. Undercoating was born of the same principle, heavy almost tar like... ...I use this system ^^^^^^^ |

Lol...I had an argument with my sales manager the day I signed the paper work for my car about a product my dealer uses called Resistall...complete garabage and they charge $800 for it, good for 5 plus years! Lol. He wouldn't give up either until I had to get a little loud, then he stopped...insisted on awesome paint protection! Yeah sure.
