6 Tips to Prevent Vehicle Corrosion from Beach Living
There are endless reasons why anyone would want to live by
the beach – rust, however, is usually not one of them. Beach
living is notorious for the corrosive damage caused to cars
from the salty air. Use these 6 tips to save you the
embarrassment of cruising the beach in a rust bucket.
Tip #1 Inspect Your Vehicle
Make it a habit to regularly examine your car for possible
damage. Pay extra close attention to the early signs of rust
on metal parts and blisters or bubbles in the paint.
Tip #2 Start With Prevention
Before all else, spray your vehicle with an anti-corrosion wax.
Preventing the rust from even beginning to form will save
you ample amounts of time and money down the road.
Tip #3 Give It A Good Wash
Regularly washing your car will prevent the buildup of salts or
chemicals from bodywork that can lead to rust. The dirtier
your vehicle is, the more susceptible it is to corrosion.
Tip #4 Car Cleaners Only
Avoid washing your vehicle with anything other than
products specifically designed for cleaning cars. Dishwasher
soaps and laundry detergents can scratch or dull the paint.
Tip #5 Keep It Covered
The less direct exposure your car has to the salty air, the
better. If you have a garage, definitely park your car in it.
Otherwise, consider getting a car cover as a barrier.
Tip #6 Avoid Tailgating
Pebbles and gravel flung up from vehicles in front of you
can nick or dent the body of your car, which can make it
more prone to corrosion. Avoid following too closely behind.
