[QUOTE="PoManNox, post: 24931, member: 8300"] I feel your pain! It snowed for about 10 days straight in the Buffalo area, starting on Thanksgiving. Luckily, total accumulation was only around 3-4ft for some areas. In the midst of it, a flange downstream of the center muffler sprung a huge exhaust leak on our 2021 Chevy Traverse w/ only 47K miles on it. I've got too much stuff going on in my garage at the moment and are working a ton of hours, so it's currently at a shop just down the road from my house getting looked at.. In terms of your Equinox and getting it treated with an oil based rust proofing, ANY of them is better than nothing. Applying these products in the winter isn't ideal, as much of it will get washed off before it has it's best change to set up. Ideally, you apply these products in the summer/early fall. It allows the product to creep and flow into areas you can't get to and it allows it to dry slightly and "stick" to surfaces much better. If you want to do the inner rocker panels, inner doors, ground lugs, battery posts, stuff under the hood, etc.. now. Go on amazon, etc, and get a case of 6 aerosol cans of Fluid Film. Home Depot was selling the aerosol cans of FF real cheap a month or two back, like under $4/can. Not sure it that's still a thing. [/QUOTE]
