Rust can be caused by:
- Dirt, moisture and chemicals in the air and on the road.
- Chips, scratches, and any damage to painted metal surfaces from minor accidents (such as rogue shopping trolleys in the shopping centre car park!) or stones and gravel on the road.
- Sea air and pollution can also accelerate corrosion, along with high humidity.
To avoid rust:
- Keep your car exterior clean and protected with frequent and thorough washing.
- Keep the underside as clean and dry as possible.
- If you live near the ocean, wash your car regularly
- Avoid parking under trees, but if there are no other options, remove any bird droppings or tree sap from your car as soon as possible.
- Transport items such as pool salt, fertilisers, and chemicals in sealed containers.
- Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches, dents and chips and have them repaired as soon as possible.
