Happy New Year Everyone -


We flew back into Columbus OH at midnight last night after a 10 days at my
folks.  Saw 10 or so nice Westy's on the way to Seattle on the 27th.  I knew
the salt here in Ohio was bad but was I ever surprised to see a yellow
colored cancer seeping out of two dozen tiny paint chips on the front of our
91 Syncro Adventurewagon as well as a dozen on the back and on one side.
Nothing that I can't wipe off but the real issue is... what to do now?  I'm
new to this salt belt stuff so could use your suggestions.  Besides maybe
touchup paint on the rock chips and frequent cleaning, any options besides
storing for the winter which kinda defeats the great syncro advantage?
Thanks.
