How to prevent rust on my Kia Sportage?

I've noticed some rust starting to form on my Kia Sportage and I'm worried it will spread. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Regularly wash and wax your car to protect the paint from getting chipped or scratched, as rust can start from these small imperfections. Also, using a rust inhibitor or rust converter on the affected areas can help stop the rust from spreading further.

Make sure to keep your Kia Sportage in a covered or sheltered area when not in use, especially if you live in a coastal area where salt can accelerate the rusting process. You can also apply a rust-proofing spray on the undercarriage and other vulnerable areas to add an extra layer of protection.

Inspect your car regularly for any signs of rust and address them promptly before they become larger issues. Also, make sure to keep the drains and openings in the car's body clean to prevent water from collecting and causing rust.
