Rust Begins Inside In the past few years, the manufacturers « have: stepped up their ‘use of rust-inhibiting: -primers either® with “a ‘spray Mplieation or dip. Use of gal- ‘ vanized steel, zine and-alumi- ~ num coatings have also in- oy. ereased. But, body: design, in} " itself,.-an’ ever-changing. ne- cessity, ageravates the prob- _ >: lem as certain design features | ’.. are conducive to corrosion. Often those curving lines at- ‘tractive to the eye lead to con- fined, poorly ventilated areas jin which * moisture. and: dirt = can accumulate. And, it is now an accepted: fact” that: most “rust begins from. the inside,. -rather than from the outside ~ as had been the popularly ace cepted theory. - =.) Salt,’ either from. the air in coastal regions or from deicing chemicals, has often been felt to-be the. principal culprit in speeding up rust destruction. | However, recent studies, such as. those conducted by the Ontario Highway Department, > are specifically. reporting that -“atmosphere pollution rather “than salt is shaping up as the -real villain in the rusting of automobiles.” Over New York City alone, almost 600,000 tons of sulfur dioxide is in the air and a sim-— -ple rain contributes to form dilute acid which accelerates the natural tendency of steel to. rust. In fact, pure water. itself has. been found to. be more corrosive, than “certain salt solutions. ~~ ‘Heated garages, where solid ‘ice or Snow ona vehicle is. turned into a liquid state in my rust inducing. Now Safety Problem Besides the obvious lability to.a vehicle’s looks and resale _ value, auto rust. -also .is be- coming .an- increasing safety problem. The Society of Auto- mobile Engineers (SAE) has stated that salt spray rapidly deteriorates brake lines: and steering apparatus, and some fleets report that 40 per cent of their brake lines are rust damaged after two. years of service, Frequent car washes as well as commercial rust-proofing can fight deterioration and add value to a car at trade-in me, BELTS SAVE LIVES Seat belts do save lives.
