Time to adjust my mentality
Well, I guess I just have to accept the fact that my car will eventually have little rusts, here and there.
Afterall, it is a 4 year old car. I just grab my rubber mat and carpet and wanted to clean them, and the 4 year old rubber mat finally gave it in, there is a hole in it which made the carpet damp... I was afraid the floor pan might have been rusted due to moisture... lol
Then I look at my rear wiper, the bolt is rusted out, I unscrewed it but couldn't take off the wiper arm. I wanted to clean that sucker but can't... Then I look at the rubber protection tube that has all the hatch wires inside, took it off and the rim on the hatch door has tiny bit of rust. So I bust out the rust remover and cleaned it.
I then look at my car (dirty of course, from last night's rain), thinking it is 4 years old, and I really like it and I want to upgrade it and all. Then I think about the rust and whatnot, getting a new car, yaddy yaddy yadda... this and that...
Sigh....
Anyways..... I guess I will try my best to keep it clean.

Honda's love to rust out.
I got mine totally repainted, then someone backed into me and scratched my rear 1/4 pannel, 2 weeks after that it started rusting.
That mess is getting fixed free of charge.
You can't win.

Ya, but I doubt they would rust proof the wiper arms lol
anyway, ya the hatch door wire tube area is very, very minor. So minor that I doubt most people don't even look there.
Next week, sometime, I will call to make an appointment.

rust proofing was the biggest mistake I ever made
my car will never be able to be a show car now not that it was ever going to be, but I like to have a CLEAN engine bay which is impossible after rust proofing :cry:
