If your vehicle is a little worse for wear due to extensive rust, bring it into Custom Finish Auto Body for help! Keep in mind, all rust repair is a temporary fix due to the nature of the rust, the age of your vehicle, and the chemicals used on Iowa roadways in the winter.

Rust is one of the most common issues affecting vehicles in the United States. While paint and clear coats protect the vehicle body from things like sun damage, moisture, inclement weather, and road debris, many other things can damage the protective layer.

Rust is the oxidation reaction between materials containing iron, and oxygen or moisture. Iron is used throughout your vehicle due to how strong it is, but oxidation is unavoidable. However, we can slow down the process.

Depending on how rusted your vehicle is, you may need rust repair. The rust will be removed by sanding or cutting out the affected area and replacing it with new metal. After the rust is removed, the area is professionally sealed and painted to custom match your vehicle.

How to Prevent Rust

The best way to prevent your vehicle from rusting is by taking care of its finish.

Keeping the vehicle clean, especially during the winter, can help to protect against rust. Salt, wet winter weather, and road debris can all increase the rust on your vehicle if they are not regularly cleaned off.

If you have any breaks in the paint, having these repaired can also help to protect your vehicle's finish. Try to repair scratches and paint chips as soon as you notice them.

Another way to prevent rust is to store your vehicle indoors where it is protected from the elements, other moving objects, and more.
