I have found that a liberal coating of a mixture of oil, road asphalt, and
dirt makes a very effective covering.

Years ago, one of my best friends and employee was from Durham, England.
Phil told me that when he was a child, cars were not something everyone owned
in England, and that those who owned one took a lot of pride in maintaining
them.
In his case, he said his father was concerned about the car rusting. Each
time the oil was changed. the car was blocked up and Phils job. as a child, had
to crawl under the car with a brush and a pan of oil.His job was to carefully
paint the entire underside of the car and the inside of the fender wells
using all the used motor oil.
Phil said that several time his father carefully removed the inner door
panels from all four doors and painted the inside of the doors with the old
oil.
Their cars never had any rust, but Phil said his Mom was forever complaining
about the smell!
