Anyone dealt with rust issues living near the coast?
Moved to a place in Jumeirah 1 a few months ago, literally a short walk from the beach, which is amazing for weekends but I'm starting to notice some worrying signs on my car that I never dealt with when I lived further inland. There's a bit of surface rust starting to show on some exposed metal parts under the car, and I've noticed some weird spots on the paint that I'm worried might be from the salt in the air. I've been told that living this close to the sea can really do a number on vehicles here if you're not careful, but I honestly don't know much about what I should be doing differently in terms of washing, protecting, or treating the car. Was doing some research online and came across this page that actually covers all of this stuff specifically for Dubai's coastal areas, it's https://nolcardcheck.ae/coastal-car-care-dubai/ if anyone wants to check it out, seems to have good info on rust prevention, undercoating, and cleaning routines. Just wondering if anyone else who lives near Jumeirah or Umm Suqeim or anywhere along the coast has tips on keeping the car protected, like how often do you really need to wash it, is there specific products that help, and is it worth getting some kind of professional treatment done? Would love to hear what actually works from people dealing with the same thing.
