Many motorists are faced with the problem of corrosion, and of course everyone wants to protect their “swallow”. However, not everyone can afford expensive body treatments in special centers. But don’t worry: there are other, much cheaper ways to combat this pest. The AutoVzglyad portal tells how to solve the problem for only 100 rubles.
Corrosion – there is so much pain in this word. Almost every driver, who is not used to changing cars every five years, has faced this problem. No matter how hard humanity tries, this natural process cannot be stopped. But luckily it can be slowed down.
First you need to understand what rust actually is. You may remember from your chemistry course at school that this is metal oxidation. To prevent the appearance of an “enemy”, it is therefore necessary to properly protect surfaces. However, that’s not the point now – let’s talk about what to do if the destructive process has already begun.
How to stop metal oxidation? Let’s think again about our chemistry lessons at school: the teacher who ‘quenched’ acid with alkali. We must do exactly the same. How? What should you take as alkali? Soda is perfect for “living” in any apartment.
I remember my grandfather telling how his father in his golden years showed a “magical” way to remove rye from kitchen knives. And all the magic was as follows: dissolve soda in water in a ratio of 1:10, place the kitchen appliance in the liquid for a while, and then rinse it thoroughly. But does this mean that a similar trick will also work in the case of a car?
Of course, not everything is as rosy as we would like. This drink only helps to overcome rust deposits. Although there is danger hidden in it, because the great, as we remember, begins small. Light rust is not dangerous in itself and does not destroy the bodywork, but it is a precursor to an irreversible process.
To be on the safe side, before using a cocktail of water and soda, you can use an “accelerator”, namely acid. Thanks to the latter – for example, lemon – our miracle solution will work faster. But beware: the chance of fireworks is high! And one more thing: after a successful “fight” – it does not matter whether you resorted to soda or some other means of converting rust – do not forget to apply a protective coating that will prevent a new reaction. Otherwise everything will be meaningless.
And of course, maintenance and regular car washes should not be neglected. After all, the method described above is not a panacea.
