Why Are There Many Rust Spots on the Hood of the Chery Arrizo 5?
2 Answers
The reason for rusting is insufficient anti-rust treatment of the components. Precautions for car rust: Most cases of paint rust are caused by collisions, scratches, or other damage to the paint surface, which gradually leads to rust spots. This may not significantly affect the car's functionality but can be very unsightly. Handling methods: For minor paint damage like scratches, you can use water sandpaper to remove the rust. Wet the sandpaper and carefully sand away the rust—avoid random or careless sanding. After removing the rust, apply primer yourself. However, if the paint damage is severe, it's best to visit a professional auto body shop for repainting as soon as possible. The more severe the rust, the more troublesome it is to fix.
I've been driving the Chery Arrizo 5 for two years now, and rust spots do tend to appear on the hood. It seems the body material is prone to rusting in humid conditions, especially after rain when water accumulates in crevices and doesn't dry promptly, allowing rust spots to gradually form. I recommend first thoroughly cleaning the hood surface, then gently sanding away the rust with sandpaper, followed by applying anti-rust paint or spraying a fresh coat for protection. Remember to dry the hood after car washes, and parking in underground garages can also reduce exposure. Many owners report similar issues, mainly because the anti-corrosion coating on budget cars may not be as thick as on premium vehicles—this model tends to show these signs with prolonged outdoor use. Addressing these rust spots promptly prevents spreading; otherwise, over time, it might compromise the hood's structural integrity. I usually keep some minor maintenance tools in the car for regular checks.
