Why Your Car Would Love Some Rust Proofing

Whether you have a new or a used car or live inland, on the coastline, in a village or city, whether you are a professional, a farmer, a businessman or commuter; corrosion is a serious problem for you flashy Mercedes (Ferrari, Aston Matrin etc). As my pal James from Scarborough rust prevention center truly points - all cars are subject to at least one of the following factors; snow, rain, damp salty air, high humidity, the home garage, wet roads, atmospheric chemicals, car washing, etc. - all of which accelerate the rusting of your vehicle dramatically.

Even you have treated your vehicle with an costly anti-corrosion product applied to the surface of the vehicle the problem still persists. All parts of the vehicle body need to be equally protected – all inner body topside and underside panels. Additionally cracking at the body joints, stone or rock salt chips, peeling and brittleness of the coating will result in invisible corrosion forming between the metal and the coating. This is what you need rustproofing for.

As my friend James from Scarborough desalination explains, rust proofing is the process of applying rust-inhibiting chemicals, waxes or sealers to the underside, topside and inside of the vehicle's body as well as any other corrosion-risky areas. This is similar but not identical to undercoating which treats only the underside of the vehicle. Rust proofing is something that every car deserves and needs!

BMW and Audi car leasing

With the rising costs of cars today it makes better sense to contract hire or lease a vehicle. This is especially true if you are a company which has a fleet of vehicles such as expensive Audi and BMW models.

Contract hire can help a company avoid many administration tasks. Maintaining a large fleet can lead to an administration nightmare. For example a contract hire company should take care of all the neccessary paperwork.

The main factor is the depreciation of cars today which makes contract hire or car leasing seem an ideal choice, for example depreciation is very high on brand new cars however if you look into Audi contract hire or BMW car leasing you will see both of these options are financially more viable than buying outright.

Rolls-Royce

The world's oldest surviving Rolls-Royce revved up two new records on Monday when a private British collector paid 3.5 million pounds ($7.22 million) for it at auction, LONDON (Reuters) reported.

"They opened the bidding at one million and it soared from there. In the end it came down to a battle between two telephone bidders," a spokeswoman for auction house Bonhams said. The previous record for a veteran car was the 1.76 million pounds paid for an 1884 De Dion Bouton, while that for a Rolls-Royce was the 1.48 million pounds paid for a 1912 Silver Ghost Double Pullman Limousine. Built in 1904, car 20154, a small 10 horsepower open-topped two-seater, is only the fourth vehicle produced by the landmark cooperation between Charles Rolls and Henry Royce and the oldest one still running.
"It is in perfect condition after loving Muscle Car Restoration in the 1950s. 20154 is a runner. The purchaser could get in and drive it away," said Tim Schofield, head of UK motor sales.
"You would just need to tickle the carburettor, make sure the battery has a bit of life in it, remove the sleeve from the starter handle and give it a couple of turns," he told Reuters.
The car -- licence plate U 44 -- was first exhibited at The Paris Salon in the late Autumn of 1904. Rolls-Royce records confirm delivery from the Manchester Works in November that year, and it was displayed at the Olympia Show in London in February 1905.
