I know there has got to be a tread on this already but I couldn’t find it. I’m looking for info on how to wage a war against rust. Products, procedures and any other info I can find. I live on the gulf coast of Florida so this is a concern. I have built a garage for the car that will be cooled and dehumidified. The car has had an exterior re-spray and POR15? applied to the typical areas in the trunk etc. by the previous owner. I’m looking for ways to stop/slowdown, repair surface rust in the center tunnel and some rust on the bottom of one of the doors, ways to sympathetically fix surface rust or worst…sprays, primers, paints, foggers, magic…Any info would be awesome!
What are those blocks of stuff they bolt to ships and boats?
The best way, by far, to prevent future rust is...... keep water from having long term contact with metal. Don't drive in the rain and don't park it outside, and you won't have problems - even if you don't dip the car in POR15 (which is CRAP, btw).

Thanks everyone. Does any one know of a good product to spray in hard to get to areas. Would it be a bad idea to spray wd40 inside the bottom of the door or in the shift linkage tunel? would another product work. what about the "Krown" product that people use on there vehicles up north? I know I'm being kind of vauge, just trying to tap into the great source of knowledge that is 914 World. Thanks again.
WD-40? Couldn't hurt, but it might not help, either. WD 40 isn't good for much of anything. LPS makes a product for what you want to do. We used to spray it on crankshafts for storage. It dries, IIRC. I could be wrong, but I think it's LPS 3.

In Atlantic Canada we battle rust as a way of life, Rust Check is the product I recommend, available at Walmart even, it is a spray, and it creeps, it won't harm electrical and it smells nice.

No the snow isn't all gone yet! We broke all records for snowfall this year, had to shovel off the roof 4 times and the last time, one foot on the roof, and one foot on the snowbank. rustcheck.ca is the website, great product, I first heard about it in the early 80's and have been using it since.
