Myths or urban legends are part of our lives. But the fantastic thing is that they are not limited to old cultures and rulers. As a new car owner, you will encounter many car-related myths that do not make sense. Here we have listed some such urban legends that you should just ignore. Annual Rust Coating Rust-proofing your ride is great, but one should not overdo it. If you have a qualified professional do the rust coating on your ride, it should last for years before you need another one. You can not rust proof after the rust formation Another myth is that if you find rust on your car surface, you can not rust-proof it. Sure rust proofing can not undo the rust, but it can significantly slow down the process. Also, the coating ensures the other parts of your car are not affected by the rust formed in one area. Frequent Washing Can Cause Rust You washing your ride daily will not cause it to rust. Coming in contact with water frequently can cause rust, but cleaning is a different process. Cleaning your ride helps you get rid of all the contaminations. It is one of the best ways to prevent rust. All you need to take care of is that you dry your car correctly. Rust On the Body Is The Only Issue Many people believe the rust on the car's surface is the only concern. They do not think about other areas. The rust on the car's surface is nothing compared to the rust on the undercarriage of your ride. The undercarriage has more chances of getting contaminations stuck to it, leading to rust formation and severe damage. So, it is crucial that you inspect the car surface clearly but do not forget your ride's underside.
