High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your
vehicle is regularly exposed to
corrosive materials, corrosion
protection is particularly important.
Some of the common causes of
accelerated corrosion are road salts,
dust control chemicals, ocean air
and industrial pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions
in which corrosion is most likely
to occur. For example, corrosion
is accelerated by high humidity,
particularly when temperatures
are just above freezing. In such
conditions, the corrosive material
is kept in contact with the vehicle
surfaces by moisture that is slow to
evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because
it is slow to dry and holds moisture
in contact with the vehicle. Although
the mud appears to be dry, it can
still retain moisture and promote
corrosion.
High temperatures can also
accelerate corrosion of parts that
are not properly ventilated so the
moisture can be dispersed. For
all these reasons, it is particularly
important to keep your vehicle clean
and free of mud or accumulations of
other materials. This applies not only
to the visible surfaces but particularly
to the underside of the vehicle.
To help prevent corrosion
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion
is to keep your vehicle clean and
free of corrosive materials. Attention
to the underside of the vehicle is
particularly important.
• If you live in a high-corrosion area
— where road salts are used, near
the ocean, areas with industrial
pollution, acid rain, etc.—, you
should take extra care to prevent
corrosion. In winter, hose off the
underside of your vehicle at least
once a month and be sure to clean
the underside thoroughly when
winter is over.
• When cleaning underneath the
vehicle, pay particular attention to
the components under the fenders
and other areas that are hidden
from view. Do a thorough job;
just dampening the accumulated
mud rather than washing it away
will accelerate corrosion rather
than prevent it. Water under high
pressure and steam are particularly
effective in removing accumulated
mud and corrosive materials.
• When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,
be sure that drain holes are kept
open so that moisture can escape
and not be trapped inside to
accelerate corrosion.
