Well, i'm moving about 200 feet from the ocean, the spot is on a cliff in Del Mar(San Diego), and the spot is underground.

I've 303'd about everything i can, with 5 coats of Zaino and 2 coats of a carnuba wax on the car, what other precautions should I take since the salt content is going to be so much higher, etc, anything for particular metals, or am i just overreacting

i wouldn't worry about it.. you have enough protection on.. we drive our cars in the winter in cold, snow and salt stained roads and manage quite well. Of course there will always be a little surface rust. But if i lived where you lived, corrosion and protection would be the LEAST of my worries

yup, as simon says- you just about got it...

i live at the beach too and the only thing that i also do is to spray the undercarriage with a spray wax (that is meant for the purpose)...
and i also hit as much of the exhaust as i can get with synthetics (zaino or finish first)

so what kind of spray wax thats designed for it should I look out for? And you hit the exhaust points with wax/zaino? That, i never thought would do anything? Thanks agan wanabe!

i use an undercarriage spray from griots...

i can try to track it down for you if you need help with this-

i do my exhaust (mufflers and tail pipes- cause they are stainless) with thor (stainless cleaner) sometimes, and i do put zaino on (or finish first- another synthetic) and sometimes follow with wax.

wax is not the best idea cause it can yellow- but i have never had that happen with the synthetics going on first... btw, the wax is really pretty questionable as to whether it does much. my guess is it looks great and probably helps protect for a day or so (i would guess it evaporates pretty quickly). i do it as a last step when i am waxing the rest of the car.
