Wheel well exposed metal treatment

[brosseau0]

Hello!

New civic owner, first time poster here. I was wondering about the quantity of exposed body in the wheel wells and if there's something I should do about it. I used to have a scion Tc and the wheel wells were completely rubberized at the dealership, so this is my first time seeing this. So should I simply keep it clean, treat it with conventional rustproofing or apply some kind of asphalt coating. I live in southern Canada, this is going to be coated with salt and sand in a month or so.

Thanks!

I would definitely apply rust proofing in areas prone to rust especially that you’re living in Canada.
