The longer you have your Mazda, the more wear and tear it will experience. This means that in addition to interior parts, the exterior components could start to deteriorate.
One issue you need to be aware of is rust. Our Mazda service center offers these helpful tips.
Be Diligent About Washing
Every time you drive, a certain amount of dirt will get on your car. And if you let this build up, it can cause your paint to chip or the clear coat to flake.
When this happens, it basically opens the door for water seepage, which will cause rust. In addition to washing regularly, you should also think about adding a layer of wax periodically for more protection.
Rinse After Driving in the Winter
It won’t be long before we see plows and salt trucks out on the roads. While salt makes driving safer, it is really bad for a car’s exterior. This is why it needs to be rinsed off in a timely manner. Even if you can’t give your vehicle a thorough washing, just a quick rinse with a hose can be very effective.
Pay Attention
The best way to deal with rust is to prevent in the first place. You can do this by checking out your car on a regular basis. If you see something up with the paint or clear coat, don’t wait to get it fixed. Quick and simple touch-ups are often all that are needed to address these issues.
