Rust, that unpleasant orange-brown substance found on metal structures such as vehicles, guns, nuts and bolts, is the result of oxygen and water coming into contact with unprotected metal. This substance slowly eats away at the metal, weakening and degrading it—a process that occurs much faster when salty sea air or road salt is involved— so it’s far more important to prevent rust in the first place than to wait and deal with the rust itself. Here’s how to do that.
The first step is to identify items that are vulnerable to rust. These can include:
- Firearms
- Industrial manufacturing equipment
- Agricultural equipment
- Public transport vehicles—busses, subways and airplanes
- Metal infrastructure—railways, tunnels, switches, areas that flood
- Boats
- Cars
- Garden tools
- Grills
- Cast iron products
- Lawn furniture
- Gutters
- Metal roofing
- Door bolts and hinges
- Camping equipment
- Bicycles
Once you have identified areas where rust can attack, you can implement the following corrosion control and protection plans:
- Car, truck and boat rust prevention: This includes monthly cleaning with a high-pressure hose or steam cleaning as well as waxing. Follow this with a highly adhesive anti-rust spray that can be used on wheel wells, engines, fuel lines, the chassis and other metal areas of the vehicle.
- Gun and sporting equipment rust prevention: Clean thoroughly and spray with a corrosion prevention product that is able to seep into narrow spaces to ensure you get an even layer of protection and store in a dry area.
- Home rust prevention: Clear away any dust and debris from the metal area you wish to treat. Apply a rust inhibitor spray or rust prevention coating that delivers long-term protection.
- Industrial and transit rust protection: Clean the vulnerable metal parts thoroughly and apply a heavy-duty rust prevention and corrosion inhibitor product. Monitor their condition regularly and reapply when needed, especially in winter months when metals are under more stress.
