Know Your Enemy: Rust 

LINE-X: Helping you wage the war against rust!

If you’ve been a car or truck owner for any length of time, you have some knowledge of the struggle between automobile ownership and the forces of Nature: Wind, dirt, heat, literally every form of precipitation– all of them can degrade and devalue your vehicle. But there’s one thing that strikes fear in the heart of even the most experienced driver: Rust. 

Yes, those reddish-brown spots can mean a significant loss in value, or hundreds to thousands in replacement or repair parts. And to make matters worse, there’s a scary little secret your car is hiding from you: It wants to be rusty. 

What is rust, and how does it form? 

Unbelievable, right? Well, we agree, but unfortunately for us science is on the side of rust this time. You see, rust is produced from what’s called a Redox reaction– a combination of  REDuction and OXidation reactions. We’ll break it down for you:

The steel in your car bounces off the oxygen in the air with absolutely no issue, living in peace with one another. But then water shows up and ruins everything. And it doesn’t matter how: rain, snow, humidity- any kind of water creates a connection between the air and the steel of your car, and that’s bad. 

This connection allows water and steel to trade electrons, and that swapping is what creates rust! But what’s worse is that the steel in your car is actually trying to give those precious electrons away! Without getting any more complex, steel wants to be rusty in the same way that the bananas in your kitchen want to be brown. And with the winter months coming, and the chance for more precipitation hanging around longer, the battle against rust will be tougher than ever.
