Winter Car Detailing Tips to Avoid Rust on Wheels Porsche Macan

Рет қаралды 301,064

Күн бұрын

This is my Porsche Macan that collected salt from the first winter storm of the year and I hadn't yet done my Winter protection routine on what I refer to as the "Arm Pits" of my car. Although there are many Winter Car Detailing Tips, these are just a few of the cleaning tips I used to avoid or minimize the chance of inducing rust in the forgotten areas of the Porsche Macan. I coated the wheels in AMMO Gelee Pro Wheel and Metal Coat as well as the calipers, suspension, and exhaust pipes. This process should be done on your car before winter and after winter to ensure salt water does not sit for too long in these arm-pit areas. Hope this helps. Stay warm! -Larry

I've been purchasing more AMMO products from Larry lately because the quality and performance is 2nd to none. The craptastic winter weather here in SE Wisconsin has taking a toll on my OCD. AMMO products have extremely helped my '20 Edge ST stand out among the salty, grimy cars I drive by everyday.

If you want to prevent rust on the rockers, you need to coat the INSIDE with oil. They generally don’t rust from the outside, but rather from the inside out. If you see visible rust on the outside, it’s a mess inside. Same goes for doors, frame rails, body panels, etc. Coating the outside is great, but you have to protect the inside. Inner cavities will sweat like a can of soda pulled from your fridge when exposed to changes in temperature. Humidity in the air can also introduce condensation into panels. Oil ensures that whatever moisture is present gets displaced from the metal surface, thus preventing rust from forming.

You pull one or two of the rubber plugs in the side of the door, feed the straw in as far as you can, then pull it out slowly while you spray. You’ll get a pretty even coating doing it that way.

It was the best way to get away and try to forget about what I had seen the shifts before!! I even kept my patrol vehicle extremely detailed and organized, just one sign of many of being professional at what I did and being thankful for being given a vehicle to use that was paid for by others….

Will be doing this in the spring. My car is 10 years old and not rusty surprisingly but underneath can use a good pressure wash, cleaning and protecting on the metal bits.

I run on the Salt Flats (Bonneville UT) several times a year with either my truck or cars. Cleaning up afterwards when the salt is packed on like a long drive in a snow storm is obviously essential. What's often overlooked is the importance of using LOW PRESSURE vs. trying to blast it all off with high pressure. The high pressure will actually drive the salt into hard / impossible to reach areas vs. the low pressure which will rinse it off. I use my pressure washer hoses with adaptors to fit the garden hose bibs instead. Works wonders and the mistake I made the first couple of years resulting in replacing fenders etc. haven't been repeated in 10 years since. Hope this helps.
