How to Stop Rust on My Fiat

Slowing Down Rust on the Outside of My Fiat

So your vehicle has some rust on the outside? If you are worried that the rust is quickly going to spread and take away the classic style from your Fiat, there are a few things you can try. We’re here today to offer some tips for slowing down rust on the outside of a Fiat vehicle. Let us know in the comments section below if you have any additional ideas!

How Bad is The Rust?

If you have rust on the exterior of your vehicle, the extent of the rust can change what methods you have available to you for repair. If your rust has gone through the exterior panel of your vehicle and you are able to see through the hole, then there is no effective way to stop the damage. Rust of this severity can only be repaired if you replace the panel it is affecting. This can be expensive, so it’s better to work on rust prevention before it reaches this point.

If The Rust Didn’t Spread Yet

Rust that has gone through the paint, but hasn’t gone through the panel of the vehicle, you can remove the rust and treat the panel to slow the process of rusting. It is difficult to make patches like these look like new, but without replacing the panel, you will save a ton of money.

Prevention

Finally, and the most affective method, is to prevent rust from occurring in the first place. The best way to do this is to maintain the exterior of the vehicle. It’s especially important to keep your vehicle clean and waxed during the winter months when the roads are filthy and covered with salt. These months are particularly rough on the exterior of your vehicle, but it’s important to keep the paint clean and waxed during the summer months.
