    So my car is pretty much in brand new condition. I have been using the pinch welds to lift the car for oil changes and such. Apparently that was a mistake because the paint chipped and has started to rust. I tossed some cheap black "rust stop" spray paint over it, but it didn't last very long before it chipped off. I have this issue on both sides of the car. I know how these rocker panels will rust out if not taken care of.

    I was thinking Eastwood Rust Converter covered by their Rust Encapsulator or Rubberized Rust Encapsulator Coating. At some point I may decide to do one of those rust inhibitor treatments to the entire car. Also frequent car washes.

    I know it's impossible to stop rust, but any better ideas on slowing this down? I'd like to get several years out of this car before it starts going to crap.
