A Few Non Rustproofing Ways to Protect Your Car

5/15/2017

We all want our vehicles to be rust-free. Rust can lead to expensive repair bills and can even cause you to buy a new car.

Purchasing rust-proofing for your car is a good way to keep your car living long and strong, but there are other steps you can take to help protect your vehicle from corrosion. Here are a few tips on how you can help keep your car rust-free.

1. Car Care
Washing your car or even just taking it to a local car wash can be often overlooked due to your busy schedule. Dirt, mud and corrosive elements can build up on the body and under body of your car, which can lead to rust forming.

Winter months can be especially hard on your vehicle. The weather may be extremely cold and washing your car may be the last thing on your mind, but keeping your car clean during the winter is extremely important. Many cities and towns use salt to keep the roads safe, and the salt can build up on the body and especially underneath your vehicle.

Salt accelerates the formation of rust and can cause bad corrosion problems if left alone. It is a good idea to wash your car every two weeks or once a week if the roads have been salted. Waxing your car can also help prevent any damage from corrosion as well.

2. Be Aware of Your Cars Surroundings
What type of environment do you park your car in? Parking in puddles, dirt or other moist areas can allow moisture to build up in your vehicles undercarriage, which raises the risk of rust forming. Also, if you leave your vehicle exposed to the elements on your driveway, you run the same risk, especially during the wet season.

If you have a dirt driveway, you may want to think about investing in laying some concrete down to avoid expensive repair bills that could be headed your way. And purchasing a car shelter if you don’t have an attached or detached garage at your home, that way your vehicle will be protected from the elements.

3. Your Gas Tank
Many people only pay attention to how much gas is in their gas tank just so they know when they need to fuel up again to get to where they need to go, but how much fuel you keep in your tank can have an influence over corrosion.

Driving.ca has a great article where one of the things they talk about is how the temperature difference between liquid fuel and the outside can increase the amount of condensation build-up. By keeping your fuel tank topped off, you can decrease the amount of condensation, which will help decrease the chances of rust forming around your fuel tanks.

Yes, I totally agree with you. Because I also feel that apart from rustproofing the vehicle, there are several ways to protect the vehicle against rust damage or corrosion. Here, in the following, I would like to mention some simple and cost-effective ways to keep the vehicle safe from rust attack.
1)As rust and moisture are strongly related with each other, hence, we need to park our vehicle in a dry place, instead of parking it on snow and wet grass.
2)Apart from interior and exterior cleaning, we need to clean the underneath of the vehicle to create a barrier against the rust.
3)By doing regular touch-ups and keeping the fuel tank clean and safe from external moisture attack, we can reduce the possibility of rust damage.

Thanks for the great tips for keeping rust away from my car. It's an old one, so rust is definitely an issue. Unfortunately, we have to leave our car exposed to the elements outside, so I'll have to find ways to minimize that impact! Any suggestions?

Thanks for sharing such a nice article about the importance of regular car maintenance. The vehicle needs regular maintenance to run smoothly for longer time periods. Besides, the car should be washed after a certain time interval to remove deposited contaminants on the vehicle which could damage external components of the vehicle. A wax coating should be provided which acts as a protective cover around the car to protect it from external microscopic contaminants.
