$5 worth of quarters at the car wash after snowy roads, or lots of mud and I've never had issues with rusty truck bodies/other parts.
See lots of fairly new pickups with rust bubbles starting on the bed above the rear wheel openings. Figure those are people too dumb, cheap or lazy, to keep stuff from accumulating there and eventually causing problems?
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Seems like leasing might be a better option in the rust belt.

'They' spread an idiotic mixture of pea gravel and salt on our roads up here. The gravel is for chipping windshields and paint. The paint chips provide the perfect opening for the salt to work.
We've had good success over the years with annual applications of Rust Check, Fluid Film or Wool Wax, and regular washing until the road salt season ends. Any of the fore mentioned are a messy pain, but really extend the life of frames and panels. IME.
Stay far away from hard undercoatings. They will eventually trap the salt and moisture against the frame, and the resulting rot is impressive to behold.

I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I live in WI - outside of the Navy, always lived here or MI.
I've never had a vehicle rust. Including 2 Toyota's. We really don't use salt too much anymore. Some blue crap and a liquid de-icer these days. Raises hell on chrome more than anything but not much chrome these days. Not real chrome.
I just wash the car a lot - underbody flush etc. The Greenbay area has pretty mild weather. US41 in marquette county is the most highly salted piece of highway in the state of MI. Untreated cars will not make it 5 years without rust. Thankfully I moved to a dryer, salt free climate.

I've used this stuff and many of Eastwood's products, with success! (OHIO) I love their Encapsulator!
