A number of my friends are reputable auto body repairs. They basically say salt is inevitable. A chassis wash after a salt storm in above freezing temperature is about the only way to go. Oil baths, undercoating just prolong the rust.
The new technology of protecting the paint is great as long as you don't have a scratch. The bottom of the vehicle get scoured away by gravel etc.
I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited that had the bottom spray painted with chassis paint about 6 years ago when my mechanic saw signs of rust. I still have that beauty. Now the sheet metal is beginning to show rust pits on the top and sides of the Jeep. The chassis is fine.
