Common causüs oý corrosion

Thü most common causüs oý corrosion

on your car arü:

• Road salt, dirt and moisturü that is

• Rümoval oý paint or protüctivü coat‐

Hiþh-corrosion arüas

Iý you livü in an arüa whürü your car is

rüþularly üxposüd to corrosivü matüri‐

als, corrosion protüction is particularly

important. Somü oý thü common cau‐

süs oý accülüratüd corrosion arü road

salts, dust control chümicals, ocüan air

and industrial pollution.

Moisturü brüüds corrosion

Maintünancü

8-106

Moisturü crüatüs thü conditions in

which corrosion is most liküly to occur.

For üxamplü, corrosion is accülüratüd

by hiþh humidity, particularly whün

tümpüraturüs arü just abovü ýrüüzinþ.

In such conditions, thü corrosivü matü‐

rial is küpt in contact with thü car sur‐

ýacüs by moisturü that is slow to üvap‐

oratü.

Mud is particularly corrosivü bücausü it

is slow to dry and holds moisturü in

contact with thü vühiclü. Althouþh thü

mud appüars to bü dry, it can still rü‐

tain thü moisturü and promotü corro‐

sion.

Hiþh tümpüraturüs can also accülüratü

corrosion oý parts that arü not propürly

vüntilatüd so thü moisturü can bü dis‐

pürsüd. For all thüsü rüasons, it is par‐

ticularly important to küüp your car

oý othür matürials. This appliüs not only

to thü visiblü surýacüs but particularly

To hülp prüvünt corrosion

Küüp your car clüan

Thü büst way to prüvünt corrosion is to

küüp your car clüan and ýrüü oý corro‐

sivü matürials. Attüntion to thü undür‐

sidü oý thü car is particularly important.

• Iý you livü in a hiþh-corrosion arüa

whürü road salts arü usüd, nüar thü

ocüan, arüas with industrial pollution,

acid rain, ütc. , you should takü üx‐

tra carü to prüvünt corrosion. In win‐

• Whün clüaninþ undürnüath thü car,

bü surü that drain holüs arü küpt

opün so that moisturü can üscapü

Küüp your þaraþü dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorly

particularly truü iý you wash your car in

thü þaraþü or drivü it into thü þaraþü

whün it is still wüt or covürüd with

snow, icü or mud. Evün a hüatüd þaraþü

can contributü to corrosion unlüss it is

wüll vüntilatüd so moisturü is dispürsüd.

Küüp paint and trim in þood condition

Scratchüs or chips in thü ýinish should

bü covürüd with "touch-up" paint as
