<\/figure>\n\n\n\nQUESTIONS & ANSWERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIf I don’t see rust, does that mean I don’t have any?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nRust starts off microscopic and, therefore, isn\u2019t always visible to naked eye. It also often builds up in hard-to-see places such as the insides of doors, the rear fenders, the chassis and other spots. This is why it\u2019s recommended that you rustproof your car annually to prevent corrosion in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is my car rusting?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nThere are several factors that can increase the risk of rust formation. Common ones include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Salt and calcium, which are spread on the roads in winter to prevent snow and ice buildup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Air pollution and acid rain, which are very corrosive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rapid changes in temperature, especially from cold, dry weather to hot, humid conditions. Heat causes metal to expand, allowing humidity to penetrate the surface and trigger corrosion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Contrary to popular belief, you shouldn\u2019t only clean and take care of your vehicle in winter, but rather all year long. Winter conditions often instigate corrosion, but rust can proliferate in summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Contrary to popular belief, you shouldn\u2019t only clean and take care of your vehicle in winter, but rather all year long. Winter conditions often instigate corrosion, but rust can proliferate in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So which rustproofing treatment should I choose?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nThere are a number of different rustproofing treatments available. It all depends on your vehicle and preferences. You can choose between liquid oil, semi-solid oil, grease-based or permanent treatments, or electronic rust protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep in mind that the treatment should be applied to a dry vehicle to maximize its efficacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
