Recommendations for protecting your car from corrosion (Nissan Qashqai J10)

Keep your car clean. Wash your car regularly and treat the body with protective polishes.
Watch for small chips in the paintwork of the car body and eliminate them immediately.
To prevent corrosion of the interior cavities of the passenger compartment doors and the luggage compartment lid, regularly check that the drainage holes are not clogged with dirt. The drainage holes are located at the bottom of the doors.
Check for wet sand, salt and dirt deposits on the underside of the vehicle. If such deposits are found, immediately rinse the underside of the vehicle with water.

Attention.

Do not wash the car interior with a water jet from a hose. Use a vacuum cleaner or a brush to clean the interior.

Make sure that water or other liquids do not come into contact with electronic units and devices installed in the vehicle.

Chemicals used in winter to combat ice on roads are highly corrosive. These substances accelerate corrosion and failure of parts and units of the car located under the bottom of the car. First of all, the exhaust system parts, fuel lines, brake hydraulic lines, and the parking brake cable are exposed to the impact. Floor panels and fenders also suffer. During winter operation of the car, it is necessary to periodically wash the bottom of the body with water.
