What about air pollution? Is there really enough contamination in our air to cause vehicle rusting? This is the finding of extensive in- vestigation of rusting just undertaken by the Canadian Province of Ontaric. In some industrial areas tons of sul- fur dioxide gas are put into the air every minute. This is true of residential and commercial areas, too. Since sulfur dioxide plus rain water results in sulfurous and sulfuric acid which effectively accelerate rusting, your car has a bath of dilute sulfuric acid every time it rains! Not Effective 6. What about the chemicals certain cities are adding to salt? Do they retard rust? Corrosion inhibitors have been tried with salt. Comprehensive testing of such corrosion inhibitors was undertaken by municipal governments both in the U.S. and Canada a few years ago and the inhibitors were found to be ineffective. The only testing by a disinterested authority was just completed by the University of Manitoba over a two-year period. As previously found, the body rusting was exactly the same with or without the inhibitor.

I keep my car in a heated garage in winter, yet I have more trouble with rust than ever. Why is this? A heated garage can actually increase rusting by as much as 300%. According to a University of Manitoba survey, ice on the car melts and becomes water, the electrolyte that completes the electrochemical circuit necessary for rusting. No! No-Rust Areas 2. Are there any areas in the U.S. or Canada where because of climate there is no rust problem? There is no area where rust is not a problem. It is less in arid areas because moisture must be present for rusting to take place. 3. Does frequent washing HAVE YOU TRIED OUR PROFESSIONAL § CAR CARE SERVICE and waxing prevent rust? Car care helps, but unless the interior boxed-in areas of the car, where 88% of all rusting starts, are protecied, rust can still eat holes in your car and your pocketbook. The rustproofing sealant must be sprayed at high pressure throughstrategically located holes. 4. What is the major safety problem caused by auto rust? Brake failure.
