Corrosion Inhibitors: Protect Your Vehicle


Sometimes rust spots aren't just rust spots; Corrosion inhibitors prevent serious decay. 

Whether you have experience with cars or none at all, you probably know that rust and corrosion are not good news. You know corrosion is terrible for the environment, and likely understand that it can lead to severe damages. If a car is susceptible to corrosion, those inside the vehicle could be in danger. This is especially true when rust finds its way to the frame parts of your car, causing them to snap or crack.

Because the process of corrosion progresses quickly, it's best to act quickly in employing prevention strategies. That's where corrosion inhibitors come into play, protecting most alloys and metals from rust and decay. These inhibitors work by allowing ions and molecules to bind to the surface of your car. This bond reduces electrical resistance and will reduce your vehicle's corrosion rate and increase its lifespan. 

An overall benefit of corrosion inhibitors is their ability to reduce damage to your vehicle. As we mentioned above, this could save you and others from possible injuries. Inhibitors can also potentially save you thousands of dollars that might go towards fixing those damages. Think ahead, and consider discussing options with a skilled and experienced technician.

Electronic Corrosion Protection?

Car owners living in wintry climates like Ohio are constantly worried about cleaning road salt off their vehicles at the end of the day, to prevent rust from occurring. There are several ways to prevent corrosion. There is undercoating, spraying a tar-based substance on the exposed parts of a vehicle's underbody. There is dripless oil spray, a wax-like substance applied to the entire body of the vehicle, it hardens once it has dried. There is drip oil spray, and that is the most commonly recommended rust protection. But there is one new, greener method of corrosion protection , electronic corrosion protection (ECP). Electronic Corrosion Module protects the entire vehicle ECP emits a low power, pulse-wave, radio-frequency signal across all sheet metal surfaces of the vehicle. It protects against rust perforation that starts from the inside-out or the outside-in, even if it's caused by stone chips or scratches. The module's electromagnetic pulse-wave is effectiv...

Here’s How Electronic Brake Controllers Work (and How to Use Them)

The popular Tekonsha electronic brake controller is available at Classy Chassis For heavy hauls and loads, investing in a quality electronic brake controller is necessary for your vehicle to efficiently operate with a trailer attached. You can activate and monitor trailer brake activity right from the front seat of your vehicle with the help of our Tekonsha and Drawtite brake controllers. An EBC is an excellent device to have handy in case of on-road emergencies involving your trailer’s inability to stop when there is danger nearby. In addition to preventing an accident or collision, having an EBC reduces wear or tear on your trailer, prolonging its brake life. Here are some quick installation steps:  You can install the ECB from inside of your vehicle’s FWD  Disconnect the battery cable any time you’re working on the electrical system Place the controller on the dash, wherever it will be easily accessible Once you choose a position to mount the face of the controller, drill a...

Tonneau Cover? What's That?

A tri-fold tonneau truck cover Tonneau covers are hard truck bed covers that protect your truck and the items you carry in it. But why should you have one? Truthfully, the answer is found in simple science and economics. Trucks are not very aerodynamic, so wind is sucked down into the bed when driving, which causes drag. Installing a truck bed cover eliminates the drag and can result in better gas mileage. In some cases, the cover may pay for itself in as little as a year with the money you'll save on fuel! Some other benefits are keeping your cargo secure. First, the cover will keep things from being blown out onto the road and preventing accidents or accidental littering. They also keep undesirable debris, snow, and rain out of your truck bed and off of your cargo. While no truck bed cover is completely waterproof, they are highly effective at protecting your cargo from the elements. Tonneau covers also keep your cargo a complete mystery. Some even come with locking mec...
