Just FYI

While outside I noticed the camper's tailpipe having more rust than what I remember in the summer, just thought besides spending  -MONEY\  -MONEY\ on preventing rust ( baked on enamel coating etc) what can be done on a shoe string to help minimize rust in this present cold weather  (There is of course sprays which turn rust black - probably better options  etc..)

Took a few minutes to search and found heavy favoring for WD40 - which surprised me a bit...

I would have preferred much longer term exposure; but for initial onset, and compared to other products..

Who da thought?? Well WD40 is made from fish oil, I guess that's why fish don't get rusty....  4thinking6
