How can I prevent rust on my Ford Focus?

I recently purchased a used Ford Focus and I'm worried about rust developing on the body. Are there any specific maintenance routines or products I should use to prevent this from happening?

Regularly washing and waxing your car can help prevent rust from forming. You can also use a rust inhibitor spray or have your car professionally rust proofed.

Another important factor is keeping your car away from salt and harsh chemicals. If you live in a coastal area or areas with heavy snow and salt, make sure to rinse your car regularly to remove any salt residue.

Always be on the lookout for any chips or scratches on your car's paint and immediately address them to prevent rust from forming. You can use touch-up paint or clear nail polish for minor scratches.
