Living in the rust belt (but not from it) I am learning the hard way about rust. I have a 2003 F-150 that I primarily drive in the winter and rust is getting to it. Not worth a whole lot so I am not going to properly fix any cosmetic damange, but sparked an idea for preventing rust. I used this formula below last year and so far so good.

So the question is could polymerized vegetable oil work as well? Similar to why seasoned cast iron pans don't rust since there is a layer of sticky polymerized oil. Being sticky I would think its hard to wash off and with a low viscosity it can seep into every crevice. Only problem is how to polymerize it without heat.
Thoughts?
