Dan,
Just a few points in case Northeners get the impression that rust proofing is not needed.
- We live in a Southern Ontario city of about 110,000 souls. I can pick from at least a dozen rustproofing shops withing a 10 mile radius of my home. Rustproofing is alive and well in Canada. Almost as many of them as Timmies.
- Based on some Michigan cars we have seen (relatives live there), there is large opportunity for someone prepared to open a rustproofing chain
- The products used is not a grease or wax and doesn't contain lanolin. Very thin water like product designed to creep into seams and leave a layer of Corrosion inhibitors.
- I was around in the days of oil sprays too, but those days are long gone, but anything is better than nothing!
