I used to live at Ventura County line in Malibu. My place was right on the beach. I had a brand new T Bird Super Coupe. I don't even think it was a year before I started seeing pinpoint size rust dots on the pillars and roof. Not a damn thing I could do, damage done. I would wax for sure, but also cover the vehicle. Don't let the salt laden funk lay on the paint every morning. I had so much stuff ruined living on the beach. It was back in the day of the VCR. Went to show someone a skydiving video I took, Gone, then I found out all my personal videos, offroading, diving , skydiving, all my sport videos.... gone... trashed by the salt air... my list of ruined stuff goes on. Get a maid that can keep everything wiped down everyday... store stuff sealed with moisture absorbers... else; rust, rot and ruin! Keep anything you care about at your pad inland!

Good luck!
