That's why every single bolt I've ever removed gets antiseize and then coated in a fluid film on top of my once per year krown spray.

The corrosion on cars around here is brutal. Toyota's seems fariyl resilient to it but even those after 10 years have rough undercarriages

I've seen this magical substance fluid film you north Americans have. Its incredible. Sadly they don't sell it on this side of the pond. I don't know why.

I've also seen the krown spray treatment on YouTube. Very impressive. I wish you could get it as an option from the factory for some sort of spray on rust proofing like coaltar epoxy, powder coating or POR15. To stop the salt and moisture attacking the metal in the first place.
