Mine looks not too good either on certain Places (not as bad as the pics above though), even though I do not use it in winter conditions (salty roads). So I have just had a talk with a friend of mine that runs a bodyshop/workshop and has specialiced in anti-rust/corrosion treatment. He said that he could treat all affected areas with a special primer that will react to and stop the rust that has allready occured (since the rust does not go deep on an "almost new" car, so no sandblasting is needed). Then he will spray all appropriate areas with another "stuff" (and not Mercasol which they usually use for the "everyday use car") that gives a thin and almost transparent layer that looks a lot better than the Mercasol - and has almost as good protective properties. It should be more than good enough on a car that is not used on gravel roads and in winter time. As soon as our roads are dry and clean from salt, I will take the car to his workshop and have it done. It will give some more "peace in mind", as this car is a keeper for me
