Rustproofing your car is crucial to protect its lifespan and quality. From the underbelly of your vehicle to your 3M paint protection, you have to take the initiative and ensure that your vehicle is protected against the damaging effects of rust.
The question that arises is how often should you rustproof your vehicle?
Before we get to that, let’s consider how rust forms and the types of protection you can get for your vehicle.
Why Do Cars Rust?
We touched on this in a previous blog post (“What Is Undercoating & Rust Proofing?”), but we’ll go through a quick overview one more time.
In layman’s terms, rust occurs on vehicles when oxygen and iron come in contact and begin an oxidation process. This ultimately results in rust developing.
Exposure to water, snow and humidity can speed this process up, which is why rust tends to occur to vehicles with damaged parts during the winter.
How To Protect Your Vehicle Against Rust
There are a few ways in which you can protect your vehicle against rust developing. Consider the following tips below:
Invest in Rust Proofing Coating
Get Panel Repairs ASAP
Wash & Clean It
Invest in Undercoating
Now that you know why rust occurs and how you stop it, you now can know that you should implement rust proofing in your vehicle once a year.
Ideally, it’s best to do this at the start of the winter months, so you can safeguard it against the most turbulent time of the year. At the same time, you should double-check it again at the end of the season. That way, you can see if your vehicle had any exposure to rust during the winter.
If you have not started rust proofing your car, then now is the time to do it. The longer you leave it, the higher the damages and dangers you can experience.
