After being used for a period of time, golf carts and related electric sightseeing vehicles may develop rust in some parts if proper maintenance is not paid attention to. These patches of rust not only make the vehicles look unsightly but also pose certain potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to conduct good maintenance of golf carts. The following eight aspects can help keep your golf carts away from rust.

During the driving of a golf cart, it is inevitable to encounter rainy or snowy weather or pass through muddy and waterlogged roads. Some gaps at the bottom of the vehicle body and the floor inside the vehicle are prone to accumulating sludge. If not cleaned in a timely manner, moisture can hide in these places. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently check the inner and outer edges of the wheel hubs, the bottom corners of the doors and the trunk, the keyholes of the doors, the movable parts of the windshield wiper brackets, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the drainage holes of all parts of the vehicle body unobstructed, check the humidity of the interior coverings of the vehicle, such as carpets, etc., to prevent the floor components from rusting.

Golf carts/electric sightseeing vehicles are parked outdoors. In windy and rainy weather, the inner layer of the car cover will repeatedly whip the car paint. Especially if sand and dust blow into the car cover, it will scratch countless fine marks on the vehicle body. Over time, it will also cause the paint surface to become dull. In addition, after a sandstorm, do not directly use a duster or a rag to clean the sand grains on the vehicle body. Instead, it should be rinsed with clean water. This is also to prevent the sand grains on the duster and the rag from scratching the paint surface. Once the paint surface is damaged, rust is likely to occur.

For some minor scratches or rust spots that have already appeared on the car body, if left untreated, they are likely to rust further, yet it's not worth having a separate beauty treatment. In such cases, you can handle them by yourself using some simple methods. Take the initiative to touch up the paint and apply glazing to the damaged areas of the car body's paint surface. Also, add a car cover to the car body when parking it in daily life. If you don't have time for professional treatment, you can also apply a layer of toothpaste to the scratched area to temporarily prevent rusting.

Regularly clean the surface of the vehicle to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt. Especially in winter or in a humid environment, it is necessary to clean the vehicle frequently to remove corrosive substances such as road salt and seawater。

If any scratches, damages or rust spots are found on the vehicle body, they should be repaired in a timely manner to prevent further spread and aggravation of corrosion.

You can choose a suitable automotive anti-rust coating or anti-rust spray to form a protective film on the surface of the vehicle body, which can play a role in isolating air and moisture.

Golf carts/electric sightseeing vehicles that are not used for a long time should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated environment free of acid and alkali gases. They should be covered with a dust cover to avoid direct sunlight.

Carry out regular maintenance according to the maintenance cycle specified by the manufacturer, including replacing the lubricating oil, checking the screws of the vehicle body, etc., to ensure the normal operation of all parts of the vehicle and the effectiveness of anti-corrosion measures.

In general, the anti-corrosion work of golf carts/electric sightseeing vehicles requires regular maintenance, timely repair, and proper use. In this way, the service life of the vehicles can be extended, and a good appearance can be maintained.
