Do not let Rust Eat up your Car

Rust is ubiquitous. It is the brown flaky substance that can accumulate on the surface of iron and steel materials, thereby inhibiting their performance and look. Vehicles are more prone to rusting as they are outside most of the time. Rust can make the spangling car lose its shine and ruin its look in the process. For many people, a car is a big purchase and wish to have it look new for a long time to come. These tips can be helpful to protect your vehicle from rust and help to retain its shine as it was on the first day.

Rusting is a fast process, but it can spread even more quickly if it gets an optimum supply of air and moisture. Air and humidity in the surroundings of the vehicle create the perfect environment for it to spread like an infection. 

Check for any water leak over and around the car for protection, this can be an open tap around a car or a leakage in a pipe. Do not park where water is present. It will help a lot and defer the process. Vehicles are prone to rusting as they move on under various conditions. Dust accumulation along their bodies traps the moisture and initiates the rusting process. Frequent cleaning with water could also be the cause. Avoid regular wash and never use hard water for cleaning purpose. Hard water contains various salts like chlorides of sodium and magnesium which are the principal agents of corrosion. Dry the vehicle for an hour or two in the sun after every wash and polish it with wax or a rust proofing spray.

Coat the vehicle to isolate it from the outside environment. Teflon coating is the cheapest alternative for coating purpose. You need to coat with Teflon once every year to prevent rust and scratches. If the structure is large, use rustproofing to cover it once every four months. Interior cleaning is also necessary, clean the car immediately after any spills to prevent rusting from inside.

Along with air and moisture, road salt is the chief cause of rusting. Deposits of salt and dirt are common especially under the vehicle which results in rust. Road salt increases the corrosion at excessive speed. Oil the body of the car during spring not in fall as the moisture level is at the peak in spring. Mineral based oil is an expert in rustproofing. Apply it to the door joints and screws which are the source of rust. Use it with coating gel at areas like wheel ridges and rocker panels. Use rust proofing spray as well for inaccessible areas.

Follow these steps and keep your car new for years to come.
