How can I prevent rust on my car?
Preventing rust involves regular maintenance and care. Start by washing your car frequently, especially during winter or if you live near the ocean, to remove salt and grime that can cause rust. Waxing your car adds a protective layer to the paint. Additionally, apply a rustproofing treatment to vulnerable areas, such as the undercarriage and wheel wells. Address any paint chips or scratches promptly, as these can expose metal and lead to rust. Keeping your car’s interior dry also helps prevent rust from forming in hidden areas.
