When you have spent a fortune on buying your dream vehicle, it makes perfect sense and becomes mandatory to take a couple of small steps to safeguard it and avoid obvious and possible mishaps. Rusting of vehicle surfaces is one such issue that can easily be avoided. Just a little information on the why and how on rust prevention can go a long way in keeping your vehicle sparkling and your proud smile intact.

The Rusting Process: A chemical reaction is responsible for the rusting process that happens on metal surfaces with 3 components being mainly involved – water, air, and the metal surface. When the paint on your vehicle is lost exposing the metal to air or water, the iron in the metal exchanges electrons (negatively charged particles in an atom) with the oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of moisture and gets oxidized; and this iron oxide is commonly referred to as rust. If left untouched, the rust process can continue, and over a period of time, the entire iron can disintegrate fully.

Putting Rust to Rest: Once you know how rust forms, the best way to put rust to rest would be to prevent this chemical reaction from happening. There are numerous ways to prevent rust formation. Since there should be availability of water and free electrons for rusting, one could either control the availability of electrons or water, in effect controlling rust.

One of the best known and popular methods is to provide a coating on the iron surface, so electrons from the iron are not available for the oxidization process. This coating can either be another metal like zinc or tin or use a paint to coat the iron surface, thus making iron unavailable for rust. Another process is to control the moisture in the environment, thus curbing rusting. One of the surfaces most prone for rusting is the car body, and preventing car body corrosion is extremely important. Controlling rust on car bodies works on the same principle, preventing electrons of the metal in your car from being available for the rust process.

The CAT system marketed internationally by Roe Marketing provides the required free electrons, so the actual metal is untouched, thereby preventing rust on your car. Once you wipe your car off, the free electrons from the CAT are removed, but the metal surface is left intact, thereby preserving your car. Since established in 1987, the CAT System has a proven track record of being safe, effective, protective, easy to use, and environmentally safe.

Preserving your car in good condition is extremely important and essential. Put the rusting process to rest, and you could be rest assured of an extended sheen on your car.
