CORROSION

Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorly
ventilated garage. This creates a fa-
vorable environment for corrosion. This
is particularly true if you wash your car
in the garage or drive it into the garage
when it is still wet or covered with
snow, ice or mud. Even a heated ga-
rage can contribute to corrosion un-
less it is well ventilated so moisture is
dispersed.

Keep Paint and Trim in Good
Condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should
be covered with "touch-up" paint as
soon as possible to reduce the possi-
bility of corrosion. If bare metal is show-
ing through, the attention of a qualified
body and paint shop is recommended.

Don't Neglect the Interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting to cause corro-
sion. Check under the mats periodi-
cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.
Use particular care if you carry fertiliz-
ers, cleaning materials or chemicals in
the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks
should be cleaned up, flushed with
clean water and thoroughly dried.

Keep Your Car Clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your car clean and free of corro-
sive materials. Attention to the under-
side of the car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollu-
tion, acid rain, etc.—, you should
take extra care to prevent corro-
sion. In winter, hose off the under-
side of your car at least once a
month and be sure to clean the
underside thoroughly when winter
is over.
o When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the com-
ponents under the fenders and other
areas that are hidden from view. Do
a thorough job; just dampening the
accumulated mud rather than wash-
ing it away will accelerate corrosion
rather than prevent it. Water under
high pressure and steam are par-
ticularly effective in removing accu-
mulated mud and corrosive materi-
als.
o When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,
be sure that drain holes are kept
open so that moisture can escape
and not be trapped inside to ac-
celerate corrosion.
