PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒
atmospheric pollution;
❒
salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates);
❒
seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated.
Abarth has used the best manufacturing technologies on
your car to effectively protect the bodywork against
corrosion.
These include:
❒
painting products and systems which give the car
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒
use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with
high resistance to corrosion;
❒
spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
internal wheel housing parts and other parts with
highly protective wax products;
❒
spraying of protective plastic material in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner mudguard parts,
edges, etc...
❒
Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture which could
cause rust inside.
