Environmental factors influence the rate of corrosion
Moisture
Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the vehicle
body underside can accelerate corrosion.
Wet floor coverings will not dry completely inside
the vehicle and should be removed for drying to
avoid floor panel corrosion.
Relative humidity
Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of h ...
