I plan on keeping my pathfinder a long time. Im starting to think my biggest challenge is going to be rust in the years ahead. After doing a lot of work under my car i couldnt help notice how much rust there was for a 4 year old car. Anyone have any experience with older pathfinders 05-06? Salting roads should be banned.

Mine is getting the same way from Michigan roads. I bought a can of black rustolium and am planning on putting the whole can under it once the temps warm up and I have a free day to tape things off and do some painting.

I have an 07, 2 years ago after the winter was over i jacked it up and power washed everything , including inside the main chassis rails. I gave it a week to dry out then applied a coating of rocker panel paint - the one you can over paint. that seemed to stick to the surface.
i get my truck oiled every year - dripless stuff, i works well if a little messy.
Best to get all the salt and grit washed off now before the heat rises and the humidity starts the attack.
