Snowbelt Rust

For those of you in the snowbelt, how is your Genesis holding up to the road salt?

I'll let you know in another few years. So far, perfect.

My car was previously titled in New York. I figure it stayed outside for it's life. There are teeny tiny rust dots all over the car, minus the new panels and paint from the deer. Only when I detail it and get close to the paint can I tell (meaning 6 inches or so). Also, the brake rotors have some surface rust. I'm thinking of getting Rust-Oleum, taping where the pads come in contact with the rotor and spraying them silver. Doesn't look terrible, but I don't like it. Other than stated, it's doing well for a 4 year old car.

My car lived it's first 3 years in the snow belt then came to California; you would never know it was ever there.

I got tiny rust dots on my previous brand new Sonata shortly after I purchased it. I was reading the forums and looks like it might have been some tiny metallic break particles that got baked onto the clear coat surface. They should be easily removable using product called Iron X. I personally used clay and got rid of it (it requires a lot of time and patience. Next time I am going to purchase Iron X lol). My $0.02 ;-)
