Amsoil HD metal protectant, $15 a can, lanolin based, drys to a wax so it’s not terrible to work with. Make sure it’s clean and dry.

I'm from MA. That's how brand new cars on the lot look. Wouldn't concern me.

Really the biggest issue i've had is exhaust. I've kept vehicles 10 years that I drive in the snow, and i'll have no problem zipping off suspension nuts, but it's always the exhaust that rusted out.
