Friends, rusting is common during the rainy season, especially on our cars. Dust, dirt, and moisture accumulate on the car's surface during the rainy season. Regular maintenance and preventative care can significantly extend your car's life and keep it looking new. Today, we'll share some tips to prevent rust in your car:
Wash and dry your car regularly
Dust and dirt trap moisture on your car's body, increasing the likelihood of rust. Wash and dry your car thoroughly at least once a month to remove dirt and moisture.
Keep wheels and body joints dry
Water often accumulates near the wheels, under doors, and at body joints. Clean and dry these areas regularly to prevent rust from forming in hidden areas.
Apply Rust Coating
Rust coating creates a protective layer that protects your car's metal parts from moisture and air. Focus on applying it to the underside and other exposed areas.
Wax Your Car
Wax polish creates a thin layer that prevents water from adhering to your car's surface, reducing the risk of rust.
Keep the Garage Dry and Ventilated
If your car is parked indoors, ensure it is dry and ventilated to prevent moisture from accumulating.
Monitor Tire Pressure
When your car is parked for long periods, air can leak from your tires, causing damage. Check your tire pressure every few weeks to maintain tire shape and performance.
Use the Brakes Regularly
If your car is left idle for long periods, brake discs can rust. To keep your brakes working properly, drive your car occasionally, even for short distances.
