Prevention of corrosion

You can prevent the occurrence of corrosion. BEST MODE - car maintenance clean. Pay special attention to the underside of the vehicle.

If you live in the region (country), where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive factors - roads sprinkled with salt, near the sea, in the regions with a strong industrial pollution, acid rain, etc. - You should take special care to prevent corrosion. In winter, the jet of water pour over the bottom of your car at least once a month and thoroughly rinse it after the end of the winter period.

When washing the underside of the vehicle, pay attention to the details under the wings and other parts hidden from view. Do the job thoroughly. Easy cleaning and not thorough cleaning accumulated dirt can accelerate the emergence of more corrosion than prevent its occurrence. The pressurized water and steam effectively remove accumulated dirt and corrosive materials.

When cleaning lower door panels, amplifiers and parts of the frame, make sure the drain holes to be free, and the moisture to evaporate, and do not accumulate inside, speeding up the appearance of corrosion.

To avoid corrosion, do not leave the car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This also applies to cases when you wash your car in the garage or drive into a garage on wet, snow-covered or dirt car. Even the contents of the car in a heated garage can contribute to the emergence of corrosion, if the garage is poorly vented and the moisture evaporates.

Keep paint and coatings in good condition. Scratches or chips in the paintwork as soon as possible to cover the repair paint to reduce the risk of corrosion. Upon detection of metal without paint, contact the paint shops.

Do not forget about the interior of the vehicle. Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting and also cause corrosion. Be especially careful if you carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or chemicals in the car. Such materials are transported in special containers and any spills or stains wash off with clean water and thoroughly dried.
