Don t let minor paint damage turn into a rust nightmare !!

Written on 05 Nov 2010, 06:30 PM

It's easy to have some minor scrape on your vehicle turn into a much more expensive repair if you do not address promptly. Very often in these situations what at first can appear to be surface damage has actually penetrated the protective coat of the vehicle and it is even worse if bare metal is showing. All the anti-rust protection has been removed in this case and once the corrosion has taken hold it can be very difficult to remove without the threat of re-occiurrence. The same is true of stone chips, its is very difficult to get an absolutely perfect repair by touching in the  chip , but any sort of protection is better than nothing. If you have a leased vehicle  even minor rusting is "frowned" upon and will lead to a re-charge at hand back time. So take my advice and get any minor scrapes attended to as soon as they occur, particularly with the onset of the winter months and the harsh road condition etc that are sure to follow!! Read more
