The car is originally from Utah, 5 years and 77,000 miles has taken its toll on the car. I am planning on getting a good metal brush set and POR15 to clean and re coat the under-body and such. For the wheel hubs, I think a good scrubbing then chassis grease smeared on the surfaces should help out that surface.
Unfortunately this car was built in Mercedes-Benz's rather darker times of quality control, things like sticking parking brakes, valve cover oil leaks, steering collar breakage, thin/poorly applied undercoatings and low grade alloys prone to this much rust in 5 years are some of the reasons these cars face as much depreciation as they do.
I don't care, whatever, I love this beast.
If I wanted a secure, boring, mudane life I would have bought a base model Civic.
