Don't Be 'Rusty' on Car Safety,
Here 'sHow to Cope with Thre
furic acid which effectively
accelerate rusting, your car
has a bath of dilute sulfuric
acid every time it rains!
Not Effective
6. What about the chemi-
cals certain cities are adding
to salt? Do they retard rust?
Corrosion inhibitors have
been tried with salt. Compre-
hensive testing of such cor-
rosion inhibitors was under-
taken by municipal govern-
Neglecting your ear's body costs rnents both in the U. S. and
hundreds of dollars at trade-in Canada a few years ago and
time due to unsightly appear- the inhibitors were found to
ance, as well as being unsafe, be ineffective. The only test-
ing by a disinterested au-
thority was just completed
by the University of Mani-
toba over a two-year period.
As previously found, the body
rusting was exactly the same
with or without the inhibitor.

Every few seconds, some-
one is injured by .a car — and
in the time it takes for a
coffee break, someone dies
on the highway! The,Nation-
al Safety Council points out
that faulty vehicles contrib-
ute -to at least 10% of high-
way accidents , . . and rust
is often the chief villain.
But many problems caused
by rust can be detected and
corrected ahead of time.
Know how? Experts at Zie-
bart Process Corporation
have answered this list of
common questions from car
owners:
1. I keep my car in a heat-
ed 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 Uni-
versity of Manitoba survey,
ice on the car melts and be-
comes water, the electrolyte
that completes the electro-
chemical 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
and waxing prevent rust?
Car care helps, but unless
the interior boxed-in areas
of the car, where 88% of all
rusting starts, are protected,
rust can still eat holes in
your car and your pocket-
book. The rustproofing seal-
ant must be sprayed at high
pressure through strategical-
ly located holes.
4. What is the major safe-
ty problem caused by auto
rust? Brake failure. Accord-
ing to the Lincoln Technical
Institute of Detroit, this con-
dition is a direct result of en-
vironmental conditions such
as salt and moisture on our
streets. Major fleet operators
say that 40% of their brake
lines are rust damaged after
two years of service. The LTI
people further recommend
that car owners protect their
car and their life with a rust
preventive process.
5. What about air pollu-
tion? 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 Ontario. In some
industrial areas tons of sul-
fur dioxide gas are put into
the air every minute. This is
true of residential and com-
mercial areas, too, Since sul-
fur dioxide plus rain water
results in sulfurous and sul-
