Proper maintenance of the vehicle can
prevent corrosion for a long time. The
Vehicle corrosion
most common causes of vehicle
corrosion are:
◆
Salt, dust and moisture accumulate in
hard-to-reach areas under vehicles.
◆
Scratch the paint layer or bottom
layer due to minor collision or rocks and
gravel.
If driving in a special area or
environment, it is important to drive with
caution:
◆
Salt or dust containing chemicals on
roads will accelerate corrosion. In
coastal areas or industrial polluted
areas, the air will also contain salt.
◆
High humidity will accelerate
corrosion, especially when the
temperature is higher than 0
℃
.
◆
Some parts of the vehicle are wet for
a long time, even if other parts keep dry,
they will corrode.
◆
High indoor temperature will cause
corrosion of some parts due to lack of
proper ventilation.
especially the underside, and repair
damaged paint layers ASAP.
Keep the vehicle as clean as possible,
Comply with the following to prevent
vehicle corrosion:
Regular washing
Regular washing can keep the vehicle
clean, but in order to prevent corrosion,
the following should be observed:
◆
If driving on saline roads in winter or
live near the sea, wash the moving parts
of your vehicle at least once a month to
reduce corrosion.
◆
High pressure or steam is very
effective for cleaning the vehicle chassis
and wheel cover, but avoid directly
washing the power battery under the
chassis. Special attention must be paid
these parts because it is difficult to see
all the mud and dirt. Simply wetting mud
and debris without removing it will cause
more harm. Do not allow dust to block
the lower edge of the door, the threshold
plate of the door or the drain hole of the
frames, otherwise the water in these
parts will cause corrosion.
If any chips or cracks are found in the
finish, repair immediately to prevent
corrosion.
Use of fender
Fenders can protect a vehicle if driving
in saline areas or on gravel roads. The
bigger the fender, the closer it is to the
ground, the better effect it has.
Park the vehicle in a well-ventilated
garage or a place with roof. Do not park
Check the body finish and trim
the vehicle in a damp or airtight garage.
If the vehicle is washed in the garage,
or after driving on the road with water
or snow, it will cause the garage to be
wet, thus resulting in corrosion. Even if
the garage is dry, poor ventilation may
cause corrosion to a wet vehicle.
