Hi all,
Just looking for opinions on rust prevention - especially for the critical areas where it tends to start on foxbody's - bottoms of the doors and the bottom of the hatch.
Right now my car is clean but I know how this stuff can seemingly start without warning.
My doors still have dealer applied rustproofing. The hatch is just factory painted and I don't see any rustproofing though possibly some was sprayed inside. It won't see winters and so far I've been able to avoid anything more than a sprinkle of rain. I do live in a coastal area though so I'm concerned about salt that could just be in the air. I do garage it so it avoids getting condensation/dew from outside on it.
Should I do something like a rust proofing oil treatment on the critical areas? Just leave it and assume keeping it garaged and also off winter roads it will be fine? For winter storage - should I put some a bucket of damp rid in the garage? Maybe even a small bucket inside the car?
Thanks,
