It appears this figure is, on the rise. One of the contributing fac- tors is current vehicle body de- sign. This, along with indus- trial fallout and air pollution, moist and salty coastal air, road chemicals, heated ga- rages, snow and just plain water — the principal causes of rust and corrosion — points toward continuing rust prob- lems for car and truck owners throughout the U.S. Although auto companies spend millions of dollars each year on rust preventives, an estimated 30 per cent of all buyers still get additional af- termarket rust protection for their cars and trucks. Rust Begins Inside In the past few years, the manufacturers have stepped up their use of rust-inhibiting primers either with a spray application or dip. Use of gal- vanized steel, zinc and alumi- num coatings have also in- creased, But, body design, in itself, an ever-changing ne- cessity, aggravates the prob- lem as certain design features are conducive to corrosion. Often those curving lines at- tractive to the eye lead to con- fined, poorly ventilated areas in which moisture and dirt can accumulate. And, it is now an accepted fact that most rust begins from the inside, rather than from the outside as had been the popularly ac- cepted theory. Salt, either from the air in coastal regions or from deicing chemicals, has often been felt to be the principal culprit in speeding up rust destruction. However, recent studies, such as those conducted by the Ontario Highway Department, are specifically reporting that "atmosphere pollution rather than salt is shaping up as the real villain in the rusting of automobiles." Over New York City alone, almost 600,000 tons of sulfur dioxide is in the air and a sim- ple rain contributes to form dilute acid which accelerates the natural tendency of steel to rust, In fact, pure water itself ,,has been found to be more corrosive than certain salt solutions. Heated garages, where solid ice or snow on a vehicle is turned into a liquid state in the melting process, also are rust inducing. Now Safety Problem Besides the obvious liability to a Vehicle's looks and resale value, auto rust also is be- coming all increasing safety problem. The Society of Auto- mobile Engineers (SAE) has stated that salt spray rapidly deteriorates brake lines and steering apparatus, and some fleets report that 40 per cent of their brake lines are rust damaged after two years of service. Frequent car washes as well as commercial rust-proofing can fight deterioration and add value to a car at trade-in time. ' SEE TO AVOI10 Motorists have to see danger to avoid it.
