How to drive my 2007 Yaris forever

Get a gallon of Fluid Film & an airless paint sprayer, have at it. Get inside the rockers too.

Sadly we don't have that product here in Europe. It's a shame. I have seen how good it is!

Thanks everyone for the ideas. Any tip on what is available here in Europe? I can go see what's available at the local parts store and report back, but would be glad to know what to avoid. I do have concerns about oil spraying, environmentally, at least.

Hold on, I think I found the stuff here, does this look right?

Yes that is Fluid Film. You don't have to use Fluid Film it's just the best known brand. Other companies make similar oily anti rust sprays. Some people even use bar and chain oil, boiled linseed oil, or used motor oil (but those can get really messy). Back in the day farmers would coat their machinery in diesel fuel as a cheap alternative.

Parking in a heated garage during the winter is harmful because the road salt that coats your car (especially the underside) will cause corrosion quicker at a warm temperature. At very cold temperatures the effects of road salt are minimized which is why cars from more extreme winter climates survive with less rust than those from mild winter climates.
