As an avid hater of the dreaded crust known as rust, this thread is of great interest to me...rust is one of the reasons I am currently enjoying an Aero - sounds weird I know but one of the attractions was the minimal amount of steel used in construction.. I have owned many lovely motor vehicles inc Germany's finest, Lamborghini's, Ferrari's etc and have always been devastated by the surprising corrosion that can manifest in a relative short time. In my experience a car can look 'out of the box' new on the top with the complete opposite on the underside. I guess most cars are manufactured governed by costing restraints and where money can be saved it is, with some fairly naff bits of quality especially if out of eyesight.
Anyway, protection and preservation have been of interest to me for as long as I can remember and in my opinion the humble WD40 takes some beating. Ok you have to put up with the oily residue which attracts dust and grime but a quick periodic wipe down and re application is all that's necessary. Another great product is Dinitrol high temp clear wax which goes on and dries like a clear coat thus offering a minimal visual alteration!!
Of course a good careful owner is always going to be paramount re dry use if possible, minimal if any use when roads salty. A good cleaning program and a vital garage component - the dehumidifier..
The Morgan in my eyes should have a good head start with all that lovely alloy and wood and hopefully I won't see the brown stuff for a day or 2 !!!
