My Niva car is highly susceptible to corrosion. Which anti-corrosion agents would you recommend?

    For your Lada Niva, which is known for being quite prone to corrosion, it's best to use robust, multi-metal anti-corrosion agents designed to protect a broad range of metal surfaces.

    Products with blends of phosphonates, organic silicates, or polyhydroxy amides work well—they provide excellent long-term protection against rust and pitting and are biodegradable and non-foaming, making application easier.

    Some popular options recommended for automotive and industrial use include specialized anti-corrosion oils and greases like those from the Anticorℱ range, which are effective both as sprays and in lubricants, and are designed to protect ferrous (iron-based) metals as well as aluminum and copper alloys.

    For underbody or exposed parts, using an anti-corrosion primer based on zinc phosphate is highly effective. It offers strong rust protection, good adhesion, and withstands further painting or welding.

    Additionally, synthetic products like Auto Plasticine offer sealing with anti-corrosion qualities useful around seals or joints to keep moisture out.

    In practice, combining a primer or heavy-duty spray for the body and undercarriage with a quality grease or oil for joints and moving parts will give the best defense against rust on your Niva.

    If you want super practical protection as seen on expert Lada Niva restorations, look for products praised in automotive forums and those designed specifically for harsh environments and road salt exposure.

    So, aim for a mix of durable primers, rust inhibitors with multi-metal protection, and smart greases tailored for automotive use—you'll be keeping that classic Niva corrosion-free for many years!
