The Canadian Tire has two products: Rust Check Spray for $7
Rust Check Coat & Protect for $10

1) Which one should I use to spray under the wheel wells?

2) Where else should I spray?

3) Has anyone used these?

(Accoding to CT web site: Rust Check Spray: Thin oil like susbstance that drips Rust Check Coat & Protect: Thick dripless and never dries)

Car: 2009 Mazda 3 purchased 3 days ago.

Thank you.

CT also sells this stuff, Corrosion Free (http://www.corrosionfree.com/rust_care.htm) for $9.99. Used it on 3 of the cars in my family and it has been great.

I got it professionally sprayed before. But I picked up the red one for added protection to spray here and there over the winter. Dunno if it will do anything. Its too early to tell, I just used it like 3 times over the winter, and a car won't really start to rust years from now. If it doesn't, then I guess it works.

Was I happy? Well, when u spray it, it collects a lot of dirt and turns the area black with crap from the road. Now its really nasty. I ran it through a car wash a few weeks ago, and it didnt come off. I have to hand wash it in May when it gets warmer and that will do it.

it says "its formulated for better built cars" ops might leave Mazda 3s on the sidelines. no point spraying your cars...lol Is this a clear product-oil-waxy?
