2021 Audi A6 — surface rust underneath a winter daily

PistonDaily680Community StarterSep 4, 20262021 Audi A6 PrestigeColumbus
2021 Audi A6 Prestige, about 83,000 miles. There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without creating a hard coating that traps moisture? I would rather test this logically than replace parts.

I'd pick the setup I'll actually live with in slush. If Columbus only sees a few real storms, a good all-weather on the 2021 Audi A6 can be the saner daily. Then you'll know the next fork. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'll update if anything new shows up.
