Don�t Let Your Car Rust
One day suddenly you find some rust on your car. Rusting occurs when iron or the steel reacts with water with the heat and the salt in the air.
Don�t worry if the rust is at a small place, under the car or at a place where it does not show. The paint is not only for the car to look nice but also prevents rusting. You should be careful in case there is a scratch as that could lead to a bigger repair problem. Make sure you keep your car away from oxidation.
How do you notice the rust?
� When you clean or wash your car, check for rusting in the wheel wells and all the corners.
� Look around the car antenna, mirrors, moldings, trims, under the car body with a torch or some light.
� If you stay near the sea or the ocean or where it rains a lot check the metal of the car regularly for rusting.
� Ask your service mechanic to properly check under the car for rusting when the car is on the hoist.
