Rustproofing your car equals safety
(NC)-Most of us are safety conscious drivers and we want our vehicles to be safe for us to travel in, no matter what their age. But if you keep your vehicle for more than four or five years in a harsh climate like ours, it will inevitably start to show signs of deterioration. Rust is one of those signs.
To help keep your vehicle safe and to delay the signs of aging, it’s a good idea to have it sprayed annually with a high-quality rust control product.
Safety is an added benefit
Without proper protection against rust, a vehicle’s metal body can begin to corrode after just a few years. Rust usually starts in weaker areas such as spot welds (newer vehicles have as many as 2,000 of these places where metal parts are welded together.) If left unchecked, rust can also harm the mechanical parts that are essential to the safe running of the vehicle such as the gas tank, electrical connections and brake lines.
“As soon as your car starts getting rusty, the overall integrity of the vehicle is compromised,” explains Freeman Young, president of Krown Rust Control System. “Treating your vehicle with a rust control product every year actually makes the frame stronger and protects the moving parts. The fact is that rustproofing equals safety.”
Another advantage of rust control is that you’ll save money in the long run. You’ll have lower maintenance and repair costs because moving parts such as door locks and “window winders”, along with dozens of other components, will be protected and last longer. And a rustproofed vehicle has a higher resale or trade-in value.
“You wouldn’t think of not changing your vehicle’s oil to maintain the motor,” says Young, “and an annual rust control treatment protects a car’s body and moving parts in the same way. Think of it as preventive maintenance for your aging car.”

in all the articles i have read on should you rustproof your car or not there is so much missing in all. first what is the course of rust? #1. moister and humidity #2. air born fallout #3 salt. all of these elements will speed up the corrosion process in metal . if you look at all manufactures warranties they will all cover against defects in material and workmanship and thats it . in fact all will exclude all the problems in our environment that cause and speeds up the rusting process . so if you live in a area that is dry and where they do not use salt, and not a lot of air born fallout. than the factory warranty is all you really need . the term rust belt was ment for a reason.
