engine bay

will the engine bay rust if the car is kept outside? my current car is all rusted in there.

also what are some tips for cleaning it?

my civic and legacy are not garaged. they are not rusted at all but
they do show the usual oxidation from normal use. even if you kept the
car spotless if you use it daily it will get some corrosion.

car is backed by rust warranty so shouldn't be an issue. just clean to
the best of your abilility and call it a day. :)

No, they should not rust at all.

only thing that will look like rust will prob be headers and or exhaust... over time like 6-10 years
