Don't buy dealer rustproofing, if you can avoid it.  It's a 100% profit item,
is almost universally poor, and can actually cause more rust because bad
applications have cracks in the rustproofing where salt can lodge and hasten
rusting.

I got a new car rustproofed at Ziebart this summer for $220.  I heard Toyota
dealers were charging over $500 dollars for their rustproofing and
undercoating.
