Why You Should Rustproof Your Vehicle

4x4Rustproofing > Blogs > Vehicle > Why You Should Rustproof Your Vehicle

If you live near an area that’s close to the sea, a large body of water, or where salt is used on the roads, your car can become susceptible to rusting.

This might seem like a small issue now, but rusting on your car can have serious consequences for your car’s lifespan and general safety for you and your passengers.

Despite the seriousness of rust, there are still people who think they shouldn’t take their car in for rustproofing – here are some of these incorrect reasons, and the explanation why you should get your car rustproofed regardless.

My car is brand new, so I don’t need rustproofing

While it is true that new vehicles are rustproofed before they are sold, it is important to keep in mind that these types of coatings aren’t always intended for long term use. That means that if you have just bought your car, it’s a good idea to take it in for an expert rustproofing inspection, which will give you a clear indication of how long you should wait until getting a more extensive rustproofing coating.

My car already has rust on it, so it’s too late now

Whether your car has new or advanced signs of rusting, it is never too late to avoid the rust from spreading further. This means that apart from the various professional countermeasures that can be used to halt the spread of existing rust, it is still a good idea to get a rustproof coating on your car. Not only will the rustproofing help resist the spread of the rust, it will help protect the areas that are still free of rust.

The salt is already out, so it’s too late to get rustproofing

If you’ve waited a bit too long, and the roads are already salted, it doesn’t mean that you cannot bring your car in for a rustproofing coating. In fact, all that will be necessary is a thorough cleaning of your car, before the coating can be applied as per usual.
