I feel better -

From what I know of your work ethic/principals... it's worth far more than that. I've done some of my own "rust" repair and it is nearly impossible to get it done to my standards having someone else do it...

I wish they would stop "seasoning" the winter roads around here making it inevitable...

I understand what you're saying but... how long can we keep raising the salinity of our Great Lakes and poisoning our land for growing crops?

People crab about how bad our roads and bridges are but putting salt on them decreases their lifespan significantly. When you factor in the damage done to our vehicles, roads, water supply, agriculture... it is an unsustainable venture that needs to be stopped. The sooner the better😑

PS - I used to play on icy roads with sleds, mini/motor bikes, bicycles, tractors, cars... anything and everything that shouldn't be done too😉

I spray LPS-3 rust inhibitor under vehicles once or twice a year and it's proven pretty effective on areas the spray could reach, especially relative to those it didn't like the alternator pivot bolt. Most of the rust on my 23 year old Honda has been on inaccessible areas like inside fenders and under shields. Much of the underbody and many suspension parts still wear the original paint. Today I removes 6 very exposed M10 bolts that attached rear frame brace pipes with no problem (except due to crawling under a car at my age), and some of the threads were clean. The frame braces had rotted from within from salt water that entered small drainage holes, $117 to replace them. Even the small screws that attached wheel brake lines and the ABS sensor wire shields came out easily and showed some original yellow chromate on the threads. It doesn't help the calipers and related parts though, apparently because they get hot enough to evaporate the waxy coating it leaves. It also prolongs the life of galvanized roofing, but doesn't seem to benefit outdoor aluminum.
