  industry in regards to materials and

  vehicle owners.

Rust Explained

• Simply put, rust is usually formed by a reaction
  of iron and oxygen combining with an electrolyte,
  usually water salts or moisture in the air.
• Most of the time rust appears red and flaky on
  the surface of metal materials.
• Rust corrodes and weakens the metal it attacks,
  which is the last thing you want happening to
  your beloved car.

• Recently, rust has been affecting cars at a
  higher and more frequent rate.
• Transportation experts are pointing to the new
  chemicals that are being used on our roads for
  this new generation of corrosion.
• During the winter, the streets are being treated
  with a de-icing agent, primarily made up of
  magnesium chloride. Magnesium Chloride has been
  used for years to control dust on gravel roads
  making this a year-round problem.

Who is at Risk?

• The short answer is Everyone.
• Rust isnt choosy if you have an automobile it
  can be susceptible.
• Moisture in the air plus salts and time is a
  deadly equation for your car.
• Have no fear on the following pages we detail
  the four steps you can take to protect your car
  from rust.

1. Protect Your Insides

• Since corrosion begins with your car coming into
  contact with moisture, anything you can do to
  prevent this combination will stave off rust.
• An anti-corrosion spray wax is your best bet.
• Have a coat applied to your doors, hood, trunk
  frame, quarter panels, rocker panels, and
  fenders.
• This will be your first line of defense - the wax
  will block the moisture from reaching the metal.

2. Strengthen Your Underbody

• The metal under your car takes a harsh beating
  from the environment every day, which leaves your
  floorboards and brake lines susceptible to rust.
• Ask for a superior asphalt-based anti-corrosion
  coating avoid rubberized coatings, they tend to
  peel and flake off.
• This will protect your underbody from street
  debris and will stop rust in its tracks.

3. Paint Your Problems Away

• Just as wax stands in the way of your car coming
  into contact with water and moisture, essentially
  preventing rust your paint does the same thing.
• Dont let your cars paint job go downhill all
  chips and scratches should be taken care of
  immediately.
• The longer your cars metal is allowed to absorb
  moisture the sooner you will see corrosion.

4. Cleanliness is next to Godliness

• Dont wait for it to rain or until you have to
  host a carpool get your car washed regularly.
• Make sure to get all the dirt and chemicals off
  your car, and let your paint sealant do its job.
• Use products made for vehicle paint. Never use
  dish soap or clothing detergent, these products
  can fade the paint.
• Tip Baby shampoo can be used if you are in a
  pinch.
