yah washing ur engine bay is real important too. after all dry, i apply a light coat of motor oil on the metal bits including brackets and hose clamps (use q-tips, dont get oil on da hoses demselves not dat it cant handle it, but it can react to the oil)

steering rods are usually silver in color (unless already rusted ) and connect to the knuckle to steer da car. not sure why but dey dont usually come painted and one of da first things to rust. followed by da diff (pumpkin).
not dat surface rust is a super bad thing, it's normal for steel and some metals. but less rust = looks nicer and will last longer. |

i dont know how long u plan to keep ur ride, but if longer dan 5-6yrs, definitely coat da metals with motor oil and spot spray the black finish on the subframe were it rusted, etc. it is a night/day difference.
rusted bits i use a wire brush, blast it clean with either contact cleaner or RC car motor spray, den use duplicolor engine enamel (matte black). |

I am excellent, thanks for asking. The Ben's science grade slipped to a high B... other than that straight A's. He'll bring it back up though.
