Alright I have had my car for about 3 months now, and i found out that the last owner lived in the country area which means that the dirt roads have chipped the paint under the car all over..
I also have a very small amount of rust starting around my windshield on the top..
I am wondering if anyone has something or an idea of what i can put on my car before another salty road winter hits it..
Please let me know if you have any ideas, i would prefer to do this myself but if i have too i may get the windshield resealed, and the underbody coated with chip-resistant paint
I also have rust spots starting at the top of my winshield, but i think mine are from when the previous owner had the winshield replaced. Some of the things you can do to avoid the rock chips would be to get a bra for the winter, or at least a bug/rock deflector. And before winter I like to put a fresh coat of wax on the body. Makes it nice and shiny and I like to think it helps protect it from the salt and other winter crap to.

GTA in ontario, the guys here like to pile the salt on the bloody roads,, gotta make sure that crap doesnt kill my car
The only way to fix it permanently is grind off the rust to bare metal. Then use some kind of paint or coating to seal it and paint over that. And if its rusted away the metal, replace the metal or use the fiberglass cloth body kits.
Rust comes from the inside out and so any other fix is temporary...sorry i ve had rust too and its either fix it or live with it, i guess.
Same here. I had a minor accident in my '02 that happened back in '03. The rear drivers side wheelwell is getting some rust, and the paint is bubbling. It's something that I'll probably take care of this summer, depending on how cost effective it is. Worst case scenario, I'll live with it. It's not like it's visible when looking at the car.
