Undercoat(?) for beach?

Any ideas of what may work to slow the rusting of the undersides on the Atlantic beaches?
Already has some rust starting, but want to try and catch it ASAP (if possible). Home brews that work maybe?
Thanks.

The salt corrosion at a beach is considerably more than a vehicle might be exposed to on say a snowy/icy road. Because of that I would seek out the advice of a professional rust preventative shop. If you guess wrong at what to use, it could end up costing you a lot more in rust repair or lost vehicle value than the rust treatment will.

Must be getting late?
First time I read, "Have you considered catholic protection..."
Thought you would tell me to go see the Pope or something.

But, now that I see my error,,, does it work?


Minitrk-
Used to do that years ago.
However I think the envirimentalist would freak if they found out.
