	While I have a tendency to believe what was said about 
those so called paint treatments one that seems to have lasted
so far for about 1.5 yrs., (that's as long as I've had the car so
far).  It's put out by a company called Total Systems Technology
out of Pittsburgh and comes with a 5 yr. warranty against chipping
and flaking.  So far I've had no problems with it and water still
beads quite well, but as they say, only time will tell.  I also 
had the car undercoated by Rusty Jones who do provide a nationwide
network of dealers who will inspect the car after the first 6 mnths.
and once a year after that for the life of the car.  Price for the 
Rusty Jones treatment was ~ $250 from the dealer who brought the car
to an authorised Rusty Jones facility (I noticed the extra miles on 
the odometer).  Again, only time will tell.
	BTW, in 1980 (not a severe winter), the state of New Hampshire
poured an average of 1 ton of salt on their freeways/highway-mile
(not including back roads).
