Rust or no rust one best way to keep you car in good shape longer & protected against winters is oil treatment once a year only about $100 to shoot the entire car , well worth the money spend
Also wash your car (car wash) when you got to much salt on the car (some winter days are warm enough to wash the car -10c or warmer is ok)

[quote=bdyman;610457]jesus effin christ its effin amatuer hour on aleromod
why on gods green earth are we just putting a band aid on rust?????? people bondo is not going to fix rust, fiberglass is MORE POURUS THEN BONDO IS!!!!!! even though bondo is now water proof it still doesnt make it the cure all for all fixes!!!
LOL, figured you chime in there man... its a quick fix, and what I did was just to make it go another couple of years, thats it. These cars are getting to the 12 year mark, and like said, I am sure as hell not spending a couple grand on this thing body wise. But by all means, if you are going to have your car for another 5 years or so, then spend the cash and fix it right. Otherwise its just not worth it man. Hell, we are taking about a bit of rust at the bottom of a door and a rocker panel that is covered in plastic anyway! Sometimes, stepping back and looking at the big picture is the more reasonable way to go... just my 2 cnts guys, that's all

Your car a 2 or 4 door ??
Because I got 2 doors in perfect shape (redid bodywork profesionnally last winter) from my wrecked 2 door that i could sell you for cheap... and there is also an other ontario member wanting both glass...
Maybe we can work something out and meet somewhere, I did this with one time with another ontario member... If you and the other guy can give me a little cash for the gaz, we could work something...
They are a dark blue metallic very close to black (custom color we mixed)
Something like 150 for both doors... look at my for sale thread for some pics

Yeah! it really helps to keep the car look '"new"
Lucky me the guy that had the my Alero before me sprayed the car every year since he bought it new , except the last year before he sold it
I run the car without oil treatment the first winter i saw the difference on the next spring so i decided to get it sprayed last year (October) before this winter hopefully my car will still look good this summer...
So basically my car didn't have oil treatment for about 2 1/2 years out of 11 not to bad...
Here are some pics of my car --> http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34086
BTW:Oil treatment can be done any time of the year even in winters

I used Naval Jelly on my doors because it was just surface rust. Cleaned it right up and then I primed and painted.
