My automotive future father-in-law says rustproofing is a scam and Consumer Report says it's a dealer pack, so I am interested in some field test data... Seems to me that if one washes the car somewhat during the winter there should be no reason for the car to rust out from the inside any faster than the outside (which isn't covered by rustproofing garrantees). Anyone with info? Opinion? Chris Boylan University of Minnesota (land of the idiotic DOT)
