    Default Preventing Rust

    What are some tips or things I could do for preventing my car from rusting besides not driving on salted roads?

    This includes all year round, not just winter
    and are there any good products i good buy?

    keep it clean and wash it semi-frequently in the winter to get the crap off your car

    Where is this? and does it actually prevent rust for a lifetime?

    I know the shop at Racetrack Gas just off 32ave does it, there are probably others. You are supposed to get it done every year, if your car is new and you get it done every year they give you a lifetime warrenty.
