Default Rusty bottom!

I've had my S2K for about a year and recently during a service I poked my nose under it when it was on the ramp. I was very surprised to see a lot of surface rust over the bottom of the car! It didn't look if it would be a structual problem but a bit of a worry. It's a 2005 with only 25K miles on the clock. It was bought from a Honda dealer where it was first registered and has always been serviced there. I asked if it was a full UK spec model and told it was. Has anyone had their S2K wax-oiled or undersealed recently? Any recommendations?

I need to get under mine and do some, the floor pan inside of the chassis rails has a few areas of surface rust. mines done 65k and is 10 years old, I have waxolyed a few areas here and there, but i have not seen any pitting.

Worst thing that happened to me was a leaking battery that made a bit of a mess in the battery area
