Rust under the car

I have a g37 coupe that has rust all over the bottom under the car. The car has flood history but looks nice so I'm considering keeping it. I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of the rust underneath?

Sure. Remove and replace all the rusted metal parts.

That's like the entire bottom. Is there a way to sandblast it or something? Is there a place that sandblast cars?

you can spray it with Fluid Film to slow down the rust, but the best option is to not buy flood cars.

Will the fluid film get rid of most of the orange rusty look?

no, but it will slow/stop the progression. are we talking surface rust, or has it penetrated?

It makes no difference, come live in a place that gets more than a few months of winter a year and every car will be rusty underneath.

my last car and G37 were used, but im using my wife's car as a test to see how the Fluid Film works when applied to a brand new car. curious to see how well it keeps the rust off after a few winters.

Car is flooded in South Carolina, not quite sure why it's so rusted. I had a freshwater flooded car before and it was clean as new on the bottom and I never had any problems. Same with this car. The only problem is the rust.
