The 3 must-know tips for preventing rust

Rust is one of a vehicle’s mortal enemies, but we have three expert tips for preventing it! Most car bodies and components contain iron and when this is exposed to oxygen and moisture, rust forms. This is exactly why vehicle manufacturers coat exteriors with several layers of paint, but this sometimes is not enough. 

Rust itself causes three problems: destroys the vehicle’s aesthetic as well as its structure which in turn leads to costly repairs.

 

ONYX COATING’s 3 expert tips for preventing rust

Car detailing

Rust can develop from a little as a minor scratch and grow beneath the surface which causes long-lasting damage. It corrodes ceramic coatings and therefore leaves the exterior looking damaged and aged, which is exactly why as soon as it’s spotted it should be looked into by a car detailer. 

Regular inspection and car detailing are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your vehicle from rust which in turn helps maintain its value. Car detailers know what they are doing which means that they can point out paint defects which could then lead to rust formation. 

 

Build-up prevention is key

The best way to control the build-up of rust is through preventive measures, once it has developed it should be contained and eliminated ASAP. It can eat away and weakens internal components which then directly compromises a vehicle’s stability, wheel wells, fuel tank housing, etc.
