I'm taking a different approach with my new RSX. I'm not getting it
rust protected aftermarket or DIY. At about the 6th/7th year I will
start applying rust protection as that's when most cars start to rust.
So I will choose an oil based product such as Oil Gard and have
someone professionally apply it.

I also live in Ontario.
