I wash my car about 2X a week in the winter, I will spray under the car as well to get the salt off as much of the suspension and floor as possible.

I disagee with the statement about older cars rusting faster then cars today.
The paint is applied so thin and the metals are so thin on new cars that the paint just seems to fall off them.

I was referring to cars of the 80's and possibly the 90's, generally speaking cause back then manufacturers didn't put much or at all protective coatings on the cars, if that makes sense. I could be wrong. But you do have a point about paint being thin on newer cars.
