Hello All...

My car was from TX. Looking at it from underneath, there's a light coating of rust. Should this be treated somehow? I live in the desert. There's practically no humidity here. Do I need to be concerned about this? Or, because of the dry air, is the rust essentially "dead"--meaning no longer "progressive?"

Thanks,

SirJag

 

Rust is never dead. It just takes longer in certain places.

In other parts of the country, you will find places that will spray the bottom of the car with oil. Be warned that unless you ask them not to, they will also drill holes to reach interior panels. Ask for a bottom only job if such holes are undesired. Or, at least discuss the placement of the holes.

So, if one is not near you, you may consider finding one on your next visit to a rust belt state. The oil drips for several days, so it'll drip somewhere else
