Protect your car from winter woes

If you live in a place that has lots of snow and ice in the winter, you have probably seen the highway department spreading salt on the road to melt the ice. You may have also used salt on ice when making home-made ice cream. Salt lowers the melting point of water, so in both cases the idea is to take advantage of the lower melting point.

 

If you live in a climate where winter brings freezing temperatures and an occasional snowstorm, your car may be at risk of rust. City governments spread salt on icy roads to quickly melt ice and snow to improve drivers' safety. The flip side to road salt is that it increases oxidation – placing your car at a greater risk of rusting. Preventative maintenance helps you protect your car from rust as a result of its exposure to road salt.

 

The combination of salt and water coming into contact with exposed metal causes rust damage. Unless you plan on taking the time to meticulously dry off your car after every outing, leaving it outside is more beneficial than parking it in a warm garage. Provided the temperature outdoors remains low, the salted slush your car picked up from the road will not melt. The ideal situation is for your car to remain slush-free and dry. When that is not a possibility, frozen road salt poses less of a rust hazard than melted slush.

 

Even if you take all the proper precautions, rust that goes unnoticed can eventually eat through the portions of your car's undercarriage – including your fuel and brake lines. Consider taking your car for a rust inspection once the weather warms up each year. A professional can identify the problem areas and help you head off expensive repairs.

 

Winterize Your Car By Rust Proofing

You can provide your vehicle with the greatest degree of rust protection by taking steps to shield your car from road salt and prevent rusting before cold weather arrives. Take your car to the car wash before winter arrives and salt begins to build up on the roads. Wash and dry the vehicle's body and undercarriage well. You may opt for Eastwood Rust Converter that has the following features:

 

• Transforms surface rust into an inert paintable surface

• Aerosol is great for those hard to reach areas like floor pans and engine compartments

• Thin enough to flow into cracks and seams

• Quickly prepares surfaces for topcoating

 

Eastwood's Road Salt Neutralizer is a blend of inorganic acids, corrosion inhibitors and penetrants that neutralize the corrosive film left from salt and ice melters without harming painted or finished surfaces. To use simply mix 6 oz of Eastwood Road Salt Neutralizer with 1 gallon of warm water, spray or sponge on the solution and five minutes later hose off. One gallon of concentrate makes more than 21 gallons of Neutralizer. This solution is ideal for any metal substrate exposed to road salt.
