    To rust proof or not, that is the question

    Thanks for the replies Gents, I am pretty particular about taking care of my autos, but I live in Wisconsin and they are now using that mix solution which I have heard is even worse than salt. That do it yourself with Wesley's may be a great option. Thanks again.

    To rust proof or not, that is the question

    Hello All, first time posting to this Forum. I recently purchased a 2013 Mazda5 GT. I was going back and forth on whether or not to purchase the year end model or wait for the 2014. Well, I bought the 2013, but the dealer did have some insight on the 2014. As expected, the 5 is not getting...
