As for oxidation, NONE of our customers anywhere have told us that is a problem. Frankly, I don't think it would be a problem unless you drove it on the beach (which I HAVE seen) . We have tons and tons of cars (probably 70% of our production) in California by the beach--Los Angeles and San Francisco areas--without any problems at all.
