The process of rusting is fairly scientific, but we’ll try and explain it in laymens terms for ease of understanding. 

Basically, the process of rusting is a naturally occurring chemical reaction with electrical properties. 

What this means is that when iron (what your vehicle is made of) comes into contact with oxygen (what its surrounded by), the end result is rust. 

This occurs as the electrons in the iron are lost when they combine with oxygen and as a result, the metal breaks down. The addition of an electrolyte such as moisture or salt water further accelerates this reaction.
