San Diego’s coastal climate increases the risk of rust on your vehicle. Here’s how to prevent it:


Why Rust Happens

  • Salt Air: Coastal areas have higher salt content in the air, accelerating corrosion.

  • Moisture: Morning dew and occasional rain can contribute to rust formation.


Prevention Tips

  1. Wash Regularly: Remove salt and grime with regular washing, focusing on the undercarriage.

  2. Apply Protective Coatings: Use wax or ceramic coating to create a barrier against moisture.

  3. Inspect for Chips: Repair paint chips immediately to prevent rust from spreading.

  4. Use Rust Inhibitors: These sprays can protect vulnerable areas like wheel wells and undercarriages.


When to Act

Rust can spread quickly. Address it as soon as you notice it to avoid costly repairs.
