It can be 10C in the garage, and unfortunately can also be humid sometimes if the cars come in wet, even if we try to clean them (two car garage).I thought the garage would be better for it, but the rusting underneath has accelerated and my steel wheels for winter went from rustless to covered in it in two years. Previously the car had been parked outside.
I have the option of parking it outside under a carport, and I think I'm going to start doing just that, in addition to having it oil sprayed. The climate is cold here. This is really helpful, thank you.

Carports are ideal in winter because they are still exposed to the cold which slows the rust process but yet saves you from having to brush off your car after a snow fall. Most rust damage from the winter comes in the spring once the warmer temps come and rust increases
