Protect Your Metal Possessions



Patio furniture, wrought iron fences and automobile maintenance

Due to our high-humidity environment, any ferrous metal exposed to the elements can rust. Cars can rust from inside out due to condensation.

I've been using a metal conditioner for years which is effective at stopping rust in its tracks and if used as a preventative measure, can prevent rust and prolong the life and strength of your metal possessions.

Some patio furniture is made of hollow metal tubing which is usually painted but the interior of the tube may not be. Condensation or rain which collects in these can cause them to rust from the inside out. Look for small holes in the tubing and inject the conditioner liberally.Spray the conditioner on the exterior too, as an added layer of protection.

One product I use which offer these benefits is Rust Check, available at many automotive outlets.
