I live about a block from the ocean in Santa Monica where the salt  in  the
air and fog/smog is supposed to do really terrible things to car bodies.  I
also drive an 18 year old Chevy with many  scratches  in  the  paint.  I've
found  that  the  "once  a  year"  type  car wax products work very well in
preventing rust, (since I'm too cheap to repaint the whole car (-: ).

The brand I mostly use is called Nu-Finish and is sold at the local Thrifty
Drug  Stores.  It's  kept  several  large  bare-metal patches rust free for
years.
