Keep  Paint  and  Trim in  Good
Condition
You can help  prevent corrosion from
gettingstartedbyobservingthefollow-
ing:
ing it away will accelerate corrosion
rather  than prevent it. Water under
high pressure  and steam are  par-
ticularly effective in removing accu-
mulated mud and corrosive materi-
als.
o  When cleaning lower  door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,
be sure  that  drain holes  are kept
open so that moisture  can escape
and  not be  trapped  inside  to ac-
celerate corrosion.
Scratches or chips in the finish should
be covered  with  "touch-up" paint  as
soon as possible to reduce the possi-
bilityofcorrosion.Ifbaremetalisshow-
ing through, the attention of a qualified
body and paint shop is recommended.

Keep Your Car Clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your car clean and free of corro-
sive materials. Attention to the under-
sideofthecarisparticularlyimportant.

Don't Neglect the Interior
o  Ifyouliveinahigh-corrosionarea—
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas  with industrial  pollu-
tion, acid  rain,  etc.—, you  should
take  extra care  to  prevent  corro-
sion. In winter, hose off the  under-
side  of  your car  at  least  once  a
month  and  be  sure  to clean  the
underside thoroughly  when winter
is over.
o  When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the com-
ponentsunderthefendersandother
areas that are hidden from view. Do
a thorough job; just dampening the
Moisture  can collect  under the  floor
mats  and carpeting  to  cause corro-
sion. Check  under the  mats periodi-
cally to  be sure the  carpeting is dry.
Use particular care if you carry fertiliz-
ers, cleaning materials or chemicals in
the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers  and  any   spills  or  leaks
should  be cleaned  up,  flushed  with
clear water and thoroughly dried.

Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorly
ventilated garage.  This creates a  fa-
vorableenvironmentforcorrosion.This
is particularly true if you wash your car
in the garage or drive it into the garage
when  it  is still  wet  or  covered  with
snow, ice or mud. Even a heated ga-
rage can  contribute to  corrosion un-
less it is well ventilated so moisture is
dispersed.
