Causes of rust Common
causes of rust corrosion are listed below:

Salt content of the roads and air

Filth and water

Metallic scaling, notches, scratches or dents are


Chemical substances and industrial pollution
Rust prevention treatment measures
Keep your Xenia automobile clean;
If you live in a region where rusting is common
because roads are spread with salt or close to the
coast, or industrial contaminants are diffused, pay
special attention to the rust corrosion.
We recommend that you'd better clean the bottom
of your automobile at least once in winter.
When wintertime is over, conduct thorough
cleaning once again.
Clean the fender guards and other concealed
sections.
Wet mud may expedite the generation of rust
corrosion; therefore, the sludge on the car body
must be thoroughly removed. Cleaning by high
pressure steam may be quite effective.
To clean the bottoms of doors, threshold boards and
frame members, do verify that the discharge holes
are not clogged.
Keep the garage dry;
Moisture (especially when air temperature is higher
than 0
℃
) is harmful to your automobile;
Therefore, do not park your automobile in an area
with high moisture and poor ventilation.
Do not clean your automobile inside a garage, and
do not allow your automobile to stay in a damp
place or to be covered by snow.
