I just bought a 2013 Subaru Impreza. I had it rust proofed. The first day and into the second day of owning the car, the rust proofing product leaked out of the bottom of both rear doors. Is this normal for a vehicle that was just rust proofed?

That means they used plenty of material or it was a really hot day. I had the same thing happen with my '80 Volare when it was new. There was rustproofing coming out of everywhere. If yours doesn't stop dripping in a day or two, leave the doors open and place cardboard on the ground to avoid making a mess.
