yes but we also live close to the sea so year round we have salty air which causes rust

Yeah but why have it come up in your wheel wells/stick to your floor and body panels for the 4 months of salting. Yes I realize the salt in the air but it is very, very fine and not in chunks ALL over our roads like road salt. I have seen what 4 months of salt can do to an older cars floor, it doesnt take much and in my mind WAY worth the time and money to store your prized possession.

truck
