Changan CS35PLUS rust issue has been resolved. Methods to address chassis rust problems: An electrochemical approach can be adopted. This method is still relatively uncommon. There is an electronic rust-proof product that utilizes the car's battery for power supply. Through a microprocessing system, it outputs negative charges directly into the metal, balancing the metal's atomic structure, thereby achieving anti-oxidation, rust prevention, and resistance to metal fatigue. Its most significant feature is full-vehicle rust prevention with no dead angles, maintaining the metal's original hardness and resistance to bending. It also enhances the adhesion between metal and paint, making the paint less prone to peeling and preserving the car's aesthetic appearance. Chassis rust prevention methods: Promptly repair damaged paint surfaces on the car body. If cracks or other signs of damage are found on the paint layer, they should be immediately patched with quick-drying paint to prevent rust from starting. If rust has already reached the metal part, it should be taken to a repair shop for repainting.
I've been driving the Changan CS35 PLUS for over two years, and body rust is indeed a common issue, mainly occurring on the chassis and wheel arches. The usual causes are rainwater, moisture buildup, or lack of maintenance, leading to prolonged metal surface exposure and corrosion. I've tried DIY solutions: first sanding or using rust removal tools to grind off the rust, then applying anti-rust paint, which works well. If not repaired promptly, rust can spread and weaken the body, compromising safety. I recommend regular car washes, especially after rain or driving on muddy roads, and using anti-rust spray on vulnerable areas. Try to park in dry places to avoid water accumulation. Remember, small issues left unattended can become big problems—spending a little time on maintenance can save you a lot of money.
My Changan CS35 PLUS started showing signs of rust after a little over a year, especially around the door gaps and chassis. I don't think this is a difficult problem to solve—it mainly depends on how diligent you are. Rust is usually caused by rainwater or salt seeping in, and it can easily spread, affecting both appearance and structure. I spent a few dozen yuan on rust remover paste to handle it myself: first clean off the rust thoroughly, then apply anti-rust agent—simple and done. Don't wait until it gets serious to fix it, or the cost will be higher. Try to avoid driving in coastal or humid areas, and check for rust whenever you wash the car. Overall, the car is good, but maintenance is key. If you're handy, you can DIY and save on repair costs.
