How can you prevent cars from rusting?

Answer 1

Just to let you know that if you ever do get rust problems, choose the KBS Coatings product line. They have an impressive RustSeal which beats "por15" (i.e. the old standard for rust protection.) KBS is less expensive too, has superb adhesion & sealing, richer pigment quality, uniform sheens & moderate UV stability. KBS basically took what was good with Por and improved the heck out of it!

Answer 2

There is a coating that can be sprayed onto a car to keep it from rusting. But most cars aren't metal anymore. If it's an older car you need to keep all the salt from winter roads washed off the car, that's the worst culprit for rust, in states that have lots of snow. Once it has started you can sand down the rusty areas and spray with a paint, matching could be a problem or use the grey primer that they use in body shops. they can order paint also if they have the make and model from a body shop or maybe even on line. the primer will keep it from spreading at lease. Then get the undercoat put on at a shop or just keep it sprayed off during winter and do the preventive with sanding and primer. Good luck.

Answer 3

Assuming its a newer paint job and isn't already starting to ruin, keep the finish well polished and waxed. This will help keep moisture out of any pits in the paint. The moisture from water is what causes the rust when it oxidizes. If you live in a colder climate, avoid driving when or after it snows. The salt used on roads to melt snow and ice will destroy a car, especially the underside. Try to spray that off afterwards. Most automatic carwashes have an underspray option.

The spray polishes are quick and easy. They work okay, but don't last as long between applications. A hard wax is best.
