There is a company that's advertised on the CarDoctor radio show that's called New Hampshire Oil Undercoating that sells a product that inhibits corrosion. Probably just used motor oil.
As I understand it, the first thing to corrode thru are the aluminum brake lines. So be careful.

The 100K warrantee coverage on the KIA states that the timing belt be changed at 60K miles and you must show proof, otherwise warrantee voided!
