at ybshore, You are absolutely right here! ATF will eat your paintwork.. It is not as bad a brake fluid, but I won't use it as a rust protector if I were you! It is better to use a special wax based coating like "Tectyl ML" but I don't know if that is available in the US :) But I am sure there will be a substitute available, just ask for a spraycan with anti-rust wax that is used for the inside of the doors.
