In the UK where climate and salted roads mean cars last about 5 minutes we always used Waxoyl in the frame rails and internal panels. It is a oil coating that you spray into the frame rails and the light paraffin component evaporates to leave a wax coating. It is available in the USA, but I'm not sure if these new products are a superior system.
