I guess considering where I live, PA, I have to deal with road salt and all, but I still would wash my car weekly to try to keep up with the weather factor... But hell, only a 2 year old car and I am finding rust formations.. Not happy.

I drive a Scion FRS by the way, so its not just Subaru.
Any pictures of these rust spots? I have had cars last more than 8 years of winter driving (lots of salt) without rust showing up on the body. Crazy to think that you are already having this problem after 2 years.

In regards to paint chips, I have a touch-up paint pen from the dealer and it has been put to good use for this car. It is really tricky to apply tho, because you can easily smear way too much paint or clear coat and make it look bad.
