There are a few patches of rust on my car i think i will have to treat with the grinder and some of that rust treatment paint this year or next year otherwise those spots might get a little ropey.

Normally a few times through out the winter i get under my car with the jetwash and thoroughly blast the salt off as best i can. Especially if we're going to go a week or two without any salt on the roads. I also do a thorough cleaning during my spring service after winter is over.

I've never oil sprayed my car. I have seen that Krown rust proof process they have in Canada/US. Maybe i should try doing something similar myself next winter. I think the Krown stuff is a mixture of WD40 and castor oil.

There is a lot of cool tips and DIY to help preserve your car on a Youtube channel called "Sweet project cars". I was checking one of their video lately explaining how to spray the underside of the car with a mix of water and sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize road salt after winter season. Have you guys tried or heard about that before? --JS
