Tint World® protective coatings can prevent rust and corrosion
Winter roads can leave your car briny and grimy, but the damage it does can be only skin-deep with Tint World® protective paint coatings and films.
Municipal and state transportation departments spray salt brine (salt mixed with magnesium chloride) by the ton on roads in the winter. It is more effective and cheaper than rock salt, which tended to bounce off roads in bulk when applied to snow- or ice-covered roads. It does its job quite well unless overwhelmed by snowfall rates. The problem? Magnesium chloride is highly corrosive, and its long-term effects on your vehicle can range from rusty mufflers to pitted quarter-panels and undercarriage deterioration. It tends to remain wet at higher humidity levels, increasing its caustic properties even when the car is parked in a garage.
One obvious preventative and maintenance measure is to wash your car regularly in the winter. There’s a reason long lines form at car washes after a snowstorm. But remember that the brine mixture is often applied to roads before storms commence. That means your car can be covered with the corrosive substance even if you are able to take a snow day and stay off the roads.
While there is no more straight-forward way than simply washing your car to remove brine, Tint World offers some ways to ultimately limit the damage to your car:
- Tint World® Clear-Bra Protection Film is a thin urethane paint protectant that can protect your car from road salt and prevent paint damage from pebbles or other road debris.
- Tint World® Clear Bra offers the same protection with its 8mm-thick application to painted surfaces.
- Tint World® Nano Coatings offer our branded ceramic protection against dings, UV damage, and, of course, that pesky road salt.
So if you want to protect your investment from the ravages of salt brine, wrap it, coat it and wash it.
