Protecting F3DM from
corrosion
Proper maintenance of your car can
help ensure long-term corrosion
prevention.
The most common causes to corrosion
to your vehicle are:
●The accumulation of road salt, dirt
and moisture in hard-to-reach areas
under the vehicle
●Clipping of paint, or undercoating
caused by minor accident or by stones
and gravel.
If you live in particular areas or operate
your vehicle under certain environment
condition, care is of utmost importance:
●Road salt or dust with chemicals will
accelerate corrosion. Salt also exists in
the air near the sea coast or in areas
of industrial pollution.
●High humidity will accelerate
corrosion, especially when temperature
range just above the freezing point.
●When certain parts of the car are
always under circumstances with high
humidity and moisture, even if the rest
parts may be dry, corrosion will occur.
●High ambient temperature may cause
corrosion to those components which
cannot get dry quickly due to lack of
proper ventilation.
Those above signifies the necessity to
keep your car, especially its underside,
as clean as possible and to repair any
damage to paint or protective coatings
as soon as possible.,
To prevent corrosion on your F3DM,
please follow the guidelines below:
Washing your car regularly can keep
it clean. But to prevent corrosion,
please the following points should be
observed:
●If you drive the car on salted roads in
winter or live near the ocean, please
wash the running part of the car at
least once per month to minimize
corrosion.
●It is effective for cleaning chassis
and wheel cover under high pressure
water or steam. Pay more attention
to the vehicle’s underside and wheel
housings as it is difficult to see all the
mud and dirt. It will be much more
harmful to simply wet the mud and
debris without removing. Drain holes
in the lower edge of doors, rocker
panels and frame members should not
be allowed to clog with dirt, because
trapped water in these areas can
cause corrosion.
●Wash the underside of your vehicle
thoroughly when winter is over.
