As soon as l got mine l was underneath with the wax based corrosion inhibitor.

Mine is still perfectly rust free after 14 months. Although it will be a
long time before the rust on that photo turns to actual structural corrosion.

Looks like there's still a case for treating new vehicles against corrosion! I wonder why the manufacturer doesn't do it.

Get underneath with the anti corrosion products! lf nothing else, the vehicle will be easier to sell when you come to get rid of it.

Don't use black "waxoyl" or similar. Choose the clear version of your favourite product. Waxoyl is available clear if you want, but if using that product l recommend adding 10% oil to
the mix. It stops it from going hard, which can be worse than nothing at all as it lifts off the surface and traps corrosion underneath.

l did mine with rattle cans of XCP anti rust coating, which is like ACF50
l emptied a few cans on the vehicle, reversing it on to some ramps gives enough clearance if you don't mind lying on your back.
Obviously change the ramps over to do the front.
