Rust Undercoating for Winter, When is the Best Time to Have it Applied?

Getting an undercoating for your vehicle that will help to prevent rust and corrosion is something that every vehicle owner should do, especially here in South Central Pennsylvania and there is no better time than now to do it. It does not matter whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter, now is the best time to get undercoating protection for your vehicle.

New Season, New Problems for Your Car

Every season presents hazards to your vehicle. Most of it comes in the form of rain (and we certainly have had enough of it this year here in South Central Pennsylvania haven’t we?). The moisture from rain causes steel to rust and can oxidize aluminum and while this is not an overnight process it prevents a very real danger for your vehicle. The metal on the bottom of your vehicle protects many sensitive parts like the electronics, your brake cables and your engine.

Dirt, debris and other liquids besides water can be found on the roads that we drive on regardless of the season. An undercoating from Krown can do wonders to prevent any damage and corrosion that can cause. Krown further works in hard to reach places and on different metals, even spot welds, to help to prevent damage to the underside of your vehicle.

Unique Rust Issues in the Winter

Winter would seem to be the most obvious time to have this done and many people do agree with that. With winter right around the corner an undercoating from Krown can help to prevent rust and damage that comes when salt brine that is used in the treatment of roads comes in contact with the water from the melting snow accelerating the oxidation of the steel on the underside of your car. To prevent rust, washing the underside of your car with soapy water is the only other option and that can get to be extremely annoying after about the fifth time in the winter.

Every Vehicle is Susceptible to Rust and Corrosion

Rust and corrosion are equal opportunity offenders. It is not confined to certain makes or models so rust prevention is important with any vehicle that hits the road and that is especially important in areas like South Central Pennsylvania that can receive a lot of snow over the course of the winter. Many drivers feel that it is a part of the normal wear and tear that comes over the lifespan of the vehicle but it does not have to be.

An undercoating can help to prevent rust and extend the life of your vehicle. Less damage and rust on the underside also helps to raise the resale value of the vehicle. It seems like a win/win! At LINE-X of South Central Pennsylvania we use Krown undercoating to keep your car on the road where it belongs so you don’t have to go through the hassle of buying a new car because the bottom fell out.
