Which reminds me I need to get a pump sprayer and coat the underside of my cars
with oil before it gets too cold...
For rusty fasteners I've been using a Ford product that I found in my garage
(left by the previous owner) which smells terrible but works a treat. Can't
recall the name, starts with an R.

I'm cleaning up some rust around the trim clip holes on front fender of my
240D. One of them perforated and I had to weld the area closed. Naval jelly and
POR-15 are my friends here. I'm doing what I can before the salt bath begins.

Sure does. My 83 has yet to see an Upstate winter. I really hate to even
drive it this winter but I currently have no choice. The brine they are
putting on the roads around here is terrible. I live right by Watkins
Glen, NY, home to Cargill, makers of the brine, so they test formulas on
local roads. I have noticed a serious uprise in the amount of rust on cars
since they started with the stuff a few years ago. Newer cars, with cheap
recycled parts are terrible to work on after just a couple of winters. The
bodies don't rot so bad thanks to modern corrosion inhibitors but the
fasteners are frozen to the point of breaking or stripping the heads.
