Like all ‘Metal’ equipment, expensive vintage cars begin to rust and corrode due to moisture present in the air. Moisture accelerates the rate of corrosion leading to fast deterioration and depletion of assets.
Effects of Uncontrolled Humidity
- Corrosion leading to deterioration of spare parts and components
- Peeling/ cracks/ rust formation in car exterior
- Diminishing value and life

Exposure to humid air.
General Recommendation
Relative Humidity in Car Storage Areas should be maintained at 45% RH and temperature at 24°C (75°F).
