Due to the
humid conditions in Mumbai, most cars are prone to rusting.
Some simple precautions you can take to prevent rusting are:
- Your car paint plays a very important role in preventing of
rust. Care must be taken while cleaning the car that you don't
scratch the paint.
- Keep a regular check - on the metal panels under the doors,
around the wheels, in the trunk and the undercarriage of the car,
as these parts are more liable to rust.
- Regular polishing of your car protects the paint from damages
that occur during normal use (like scratches, fading of paint
etc.)
- Waxing your car regularly too protects the car and makes it
easier to clean the paint surface. Water beading indicates that
your car needs a fresh coat of wax.
- The underside of your car is especially prone to rusting -get
the car underside washed with a high pressure water jet at least
once a month. This can be done at service stations and some petrol
pumps.
