For car owners in coastal areas or regions with high humidity, like many parts of Bangladesh, rust is a constant battle that can significantly degrade a vehicle's value and safety. What are the most effective strategies for preventing rust from forming on new cars, and for managing or treating existing rust on older vehicles? I'm interested in detailed advice on undercoating types (e.g., wax-based, rubberized), rust converter products, proper washing techniques (especially after driving through salty water or near the sea), and common rust-prone areas to inspect regularly. Are there any DIY methods that are genuinely effective, or is professional rust proofing always the best option for long-term protection in our climate?
