Prevent from Rust

[mitsumi]

My mirage is only 4months used and i noticed that there is some rust building up, how do i treat this? what stuff can i use to prevent it from rusting or should i go with my dealer and have this checked? since the car has 3yrs warranty.

You could have them check it so it is noted and on the record. Rust perforation is covered 7 yrs / 100,000 miles on the US Mirages.

I am having rust protection in option for my Space Star since winters here in Finland are pretty rough for cars because all off the road salt to prevent ice.

It is not done by the dealership they buy it from company specialized doing these.

You can spray some fluid film on the areas so it won't get worse.

what is a fluid film? sorry dont have any idea on this, do you have a certain brand?

[blue5mt]

Try a farm supply store. Its in an spray can. It leaves a rust proof film. Any brand would do.

sorry but i live far from your country we do have farm supply store but they only sell feeds for the animals here in the PH. Anyways will a WD40 enough to prevent this?

No wd40 will only displace water, it will not leave a protective film like fluid film. Fluid film is specially formulated to stop, and prevent rust. It will get into the pores of the metal, and last a long time.
It is sometimes used to prevent corrosion on new metals like new sheet metal. Construction industry? Shipping industry, even used in some food plants to lubricate machinery. This should be available in your country.

cant find the fluid film here, did try on several Ace Hardwares and others but they dont have one. Is there any other brand that is the same as fluid film?

Red automatic transmission fluid is pretty good, but I can't believe you can't get fluid film!
