Re: Winter Wax
I live in the north where they use a LOT of road salt in the winter. You may know that salt water is very corrosive on unprotected metal. The main car is four years old. As for not seeing rust on newer cars, I would partially agree. No rust that you can see. A lot of people on this site spend a lot of time polishing, waxing, and caring for their paint, but I would hazard a guess that their undercarriages are neglected. My undercarriage, brake lines, springs, calipers, etc. look like the day it rolled off the line. My daughter's car is four years old also, never been rust sprayed, and no visible rust in the body, but if you look underneath it is full of rust. No, not rusting though anything but just rusted through the paint on various components. Her brake lines have rust on them. Struts are rusty. Calipers are rusty. Etc. I like to take car of my whole car, not just want people normally see.
