Oiling the underside of their car?
Does anybody else other than me do this to their cars? Every fall I oil the underside of my cars with used motor oil. I use a siphon feed sand blaster and a 5 gallon just of the used stuff. I have never had rust on my cars. Quite messy for about a week but with being in the salt belt where the salt eats the cars away in the winter. I just did my stang and my other 2 last week.

I was told by an old body man to do this. He had a 70's blazer that looked like new. No rusr what so ever. The underside after driving awhile gets this black coating of oil/dust that makes a nice protective barrior not letting the water/salt in... My 79 F150 was immaculate no door rust no cab corner rust. The bed looked like new..

I would have to think that there must be SOME rubber underneath that I wouldn't happy getting oil on. And something about the bottom of my car atracting all that dirt...

http://www.aircraftcorrosioncontrol.com This is what we use on our aircraft, and I use it on my car. It also displaces water that may be deep inside crevices, and is also used to keep electrical components corrosion free. A little of it goes a long way, and there is minimal mess.
