How to stop rust

Best rust is one that is not visible. Unfortunately, not all motorists are fairly responsibly protect and prevent your own “iron horse” from rust. Yes and in taking measures to prevent rust you can’t be sure that it’s completely eliminates the aggressive impact of the external environment on the machine.

In this article we will talk about the most effective ways to protect your machine from corrosion, as well as on how to stop the rust that has already appeared.

Car protection

Look at the popular methods to protect the machine against corrosion:

Paint coating over a layer of primer. Because this coating can not 100% to stop moisture penetration, this method can be considered a temporary protection;
galvanizing. This will provide protection through which electrochemical corrosion could not enter;
Installing on body, plastic linings, etc. These measures do not impede protection against rust, and reasons of its appearance, such as scratching.
film coating machine. Method is effective, some manufacturers have already incorporated it in standard machines.

These measures are effective to varying degrees, but none of them can completely protect the metal from oxidation. If corrosion has already started, you can stop it by or chemical treatment.

Mechanical processing

If corrosion is in the early stages, you can try to remove it by using sandpaper. At the beginning of the work, you should use a coarse-grain fabric to remove the rust itself, and then finish with a fine handling.

If rust has covered a large area of the car, it is best to use a drill with a nozzle with a metal brush. This will save you time and effort.

Unfortunately, machining does not imply the complete removal of rust. For 100% freedom from corrosion layer need to use modifiers rust.

Rust converters

In business or building stores you can find special products that convert the rust into a tight plot coverage. This helps to stop rust and prepare a layer for subsequent painting. Such funds are based on phosphoric acid or zinc, which implies working with them gloves and well-ventilated area.

Method of application of such funds will be veiled from their consistence: they are sold in the form of liquid, gel or aerosol.

In General, the process of using modifiers can be divided into the following steps:

Remove from your vehicle’s surface dust and dirt.
Drawing tool on the affected area.
Drying modifier prior to the formation of soil layer.
Painting.
There are also modifiers does not imply formation of primer. They simply convert the rust. Whatever type of converter you eventually choose, you can be sure that you use the most effective way to protect your car against corrosion!
