Rust Bubble in Front of Rear Wheels

I know there is a lot of discussion on the rust bubbles in the lower trim just forward of the rear wheels on the 9-5; a typical problem (defect) on these cars. I thought I would share one tip that may buy some time before you need to visit the body shop to cut out and replace/repair these trouble spots.
After each washing (at least weekly)I have been spraying WD40 in, around, under and in the door sill using the high pressure red tube. This seems to have arrested further progression of the rust bubble (as in not breaking through the paint) for the last three years on my Aero. Not a solution, as I know "rust never sleeps" but if you catch it early enough, it seems to buy you some extra time before an expensive repair. For what it's worth, my 2 cents!
