Rusty H3? Have you seen a lot of 'rusty'' H3's that were driven on salty roads?

My '06 was from Las Vegas where they don't need to use salt and had virtually no rust. My '09 I got from Pennsylvania where they do salt and it has more rust than I would like. Its pretty consistent across all vehicle makes and models and is a seemingly constant battle. There are good options out there for neutralizing and sealing to keep it from getting worse. I hear a lot of people using POR 15. I plan on going this route when I find the time.

I live in the northeast and everything rusts to hell. H3’s seem to hold up much better than most other vehicles. I’ve only seen 1 ‘06 H3 and 1 ‘03 H2 that were rusted thru. Oddly, the H3 that was rusted thru was low mileage and spent time in Las Vegas and other southern climates before coming to PA. I have 2 ‘06 H3s with 180k+ miles and they both have much less rust than the average pickup truck that’s 5 years newer.

Florida vehicles can be some the rustiest around. Especially 4x4s because they sometimes get driven into the surf (or the surf comes up to them).

True- But those are only the ignorant fools that drive their cars up on the beach in Daytona..hahah
Most Floridians know better than to drive their cars up on the beach,it is also illegal in 99% of the beaches:cheers:
