Without that, you're going to have issues by year 10.
Right, I keep forgetting that you guys have had very few good rustproofing choices up until recently.
I remember my 92 Chevy Corsica falling apart around year 2000, even a simple brake job was getting difficult on it. My 95 Accord that I purchased in 03 or 04 was in much better shape because the previous owner rustproofed it regularly, I think he used Rust check. Seeing the big difference rustproofing made, I started treating my Mazda 3 right from the start.
