When buying a car, the first thing we pay attention to is the condition of the body. The appearance of rust scares away motorists and makes them think about the need to sell. Cars are the least resistant to corrosion, which are covered with rusty "spots" after 4-6 years after the start of operation. Any vehicle during long-term operation begins to rust slowly since this process is characteristic of any metal. Often in winter, many cars begin to rust strongly because utilities at this time intensively sprinkle the road surface with various chemical reagents. Thresholds in-car doorways suffer especially from this. Threshold protection can be installed both independently and with the help of qualified specialists at the service station.
In any case, it is always better to contact Car Rust Protection Services if you want the work to be done efficiently and beautifully. You can read more about installing threshold protection on the website of a specialized workshop. The only thing that can be said is that with protected thresholds, your car will last much longer and corrosion will not be terrible for it. Also, so that there are no signs of corrosion on the car body, it is required to inspect your car more often for cracks, bumps, and chips. It is important to periodically drive the car to the car wash. After all, because of the dirt, small various damages are often not visible, and as a result, the rusting process begins to progress with greater force.
Also, in the fight against metal rusting on the car, you can use a variety of physical and chemical coatings on the surface of the car. Mastic, sealant, protective lubricant, as well as anti-corrosion materials, are perfect here. In principle, these tools are used on the bottom of the car, thresholds, and arches, since corrosion is most often observed in these areas. The electrochemical method against corrosion of the car body elements is rarely used because this method has a rather high cost.
What should I do if rust has already appeared on the car?
From the very beginning, it is required to eliminate the rusted areas. In this case, you can use a weak solution of alkaline acid to treat corrosion. It is necessary to remove rust using a skin or a metal brush. In addition, converters or Rust Proof Spray Product are considered to be quite effective. When they are used, a chemical reaction is formed, as a result of which iron oxide passes into iron tannate, and it, in turn, is a more stable substance.
Today, there are a huge number of corrosion converters in automotive stores. They are not too expensive for the price. It is easy to work with it, you just need to sand the rusty area and then apply a converter to it and leave it for 12 hours. Then this place needs to be patched, primed, and painted.
