What Causes Rust On Cars?

Rust occurs when iron, a significant component of most cars, reacts with oxygen in the presence of water. This reaction forms iron oxide, commonly known as rust, which can severely degrade a vehicle's integrity over time.

Factors contributing to rust include:

Environmental Exposure: High humidity and saltwater exposure increase rust risk.

Chemical Exposure: Road salts accelerate rusting by increasing metal exposure to moisture.

Physical Damage: Scratches or dents expose the underlying metal, starting the rusting process.

Common rust-prone areas include wheel wells, the undercarriage, the engine bay, and the sills.

Is Ice Blasting Good For Rust?

Ice blasting is the ideal preparation for rust protection. Unlike jet washing, which requires drying time, or wire wheeling, which is messy and time-consuming, ice blasting provides a clean, dry surface ready for treatment immediately. This ensures a superior finish and longer-lasting protection.
