Corrosion protection
Common causes of corrosion of the vehicle are as follows: Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulating beneath the car; chipped paint or protective coatings stones, gravel, stone chips and minor dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corrosion; If you live in the region (country), where the car is regularly exposed to corrosive factors, corrosion protection is particularly important. Some of the reasons are the increased corrosion chemicals used on roads, sea air and aggressive emission production. Moisture creates the conditions for more intensive development of corrosion. For example, the occurrence of corrosion is considerably accelerated at high humidity, especially at the freezing point of water. In such conditions, corrosive materials in contact with the surface of the car through a bad moisture evaporates. Mud - a common cause of corrosion because it dries slowly and helps moisture contact with the vehicle. Even if the dirt seems dry, it may still contain moisture and promote the emergence of corrosion. High temperatures may also contribute to the emergence of corrosion poorly ventilated parts of the car, which can condense the moisture. For these reasons, it is important throughout the year to keep the car clean, regularly remove dirt from it and the accumulation of other materials. This applies not only to visible areas, but also to the bottom of the car.
