My Rodeo has seen it's first winter as my DD with the SAS...and i'm coming to see a lot of surface rust underneath. I'm curious what is the best way to keep it from happening? I plan on sanding down most of what I can in the spring and painting with some black paint...however, I already did that during a couple of maintenance sessions this last summer/fall, and it doesn't seem it helped too much. The other thing I'm noticing is how much rust I have on my rod ends for the trackbar....which I obviously wouldn't have painted.
Is it always this bad after a winter? I never had this much rust on my other DD with a metal front/rear bumper..but even the bumper is showing quite a bit of surface rust on the hoop. Is there something I should do to prevent it other then adding good coats of paint? I used Rustoleum black spray paint when I did the touch up during the summer/fall...but even that seems to be not doing as well as I expected.
Any suggestions?
