New car with 400 miles. What goes wrong where I live, Buffalo NY. Is rust. Rust caused by salt on the streets in the winter. Salt is used to melt the ice. Steel is a stupid material to build a car from.
Took car all apart. Plastic covers on bottom, There was a giant carpet like cover on the bottom. Remove wheel wells, bumpers, lights, door panels, some of the interior and all parts so I can see and spray the steel body. will take pictures when I get the camera fired up.
Here is some information from techinfo.honda.com

Car was built in Mexico. See undercoating that looks like it was applied with a brush from the dollar store. Looks like they forgot to apply undercoating to the bottom of the place where spare tire goes. Plan is to apply this stuff with a brush from the dollar store.
3M™ No Cleanup High Coverage Body Schutz Coating 08964
What goes wrong with this type of undercoating is clogging up drain holes. Will be careful not to do that. Will only put it on the bottom of the place where spare tire goes.
Next will spray oil everywhere and inside of all sheet metal up to about the windows. It will be a sad day when the roof rusts. Theory is oil prevents steel from rusting, same as the steel parts inside the engine. Looking for suggestions on what type of oil or grease to spray and how to spray it? Years ago when I did this to a different vehicle, I called a oil, grease supply guy. He told me that he was selling oil to the places that do rust proofing. Here is one local place.

Go to the web site to see how they drill holes and spray inside body with long hoses. Spending a week taking the car all apart seems like a way better way to apply oil and see where ya are spraying.
Oil, grease supply guy said he was selling vegetable oil to the places that do rust proofing and it was not the best product to prevent rust. Rust proofing places use it because it is less harmful to breathe and it don't smell that bad. He sold me a 5 gallon pail of this:
Texaco Rust Proof Compound L

Texaco Rust Proof Compound L looks feels and smells like grease. Oil, grease supply guy said to thin it with "good quality paint thinner" so I can spray it. In the past I have used this sprayer:
Snap-on, Gun, Air-Solvent (Blue-Point®) GA299
What goes wrong when crawling around under a car or truck with this sprayer and the rubber hose in a bucket of thinned grease is I accidentally kick the bucket over
Also don't think this tool is good for spraying grease because I need to thin it too much. Worried that if spray is thinned too much it won't stay where I spray it and will run down due to gravity.
Here in the attached Honda PDF files I see some type of oil sprayer.
I got very little knowledge of paint / oil sprayers. Do have a air compressor. Whats the best way to spray this [Texaco Rust Proof Compound L] that has the consistency of grease. Have tried heating this stuff in a crock pot. That didn't work.
