new vehicles and factory rustproofing
(OP)
I live in the midwest (salt belt) and was wondering what steps I should take to protect and take care of a new vehicle. Is what they do at the factory good enough? Should I take it somewhere and have rust proofing stuff applied? I am looking for what others know, or have done and such. Thank You.

If you plan on keeping it, for the $200 I think it's worth it. If you have the dealer do it it costs more.

the most important thing that those of us in the Salt Belt can do to prevent rust on our cars is:
Wash it... Regularly and often. Especially in the winter, and be certain to wash the greasy side of the car as well as the shiny side.

I used to live much further north than I do now, winter there was much nicer on cars, salt wasnt as effective (temp) so they mostly used sand/dirt. Since it would be below freezing for most of the time if you washed your car well and dried it good, and didn't use the heat the snow wouldnt stick and the car would stay clean for longer.

A good underbody cleaning after each snow storm is one way to help maintain the underside of your car in the salt belt.
