Coastal, marine air
Coastal salt air that corrodes chips and scratches.
Rear-end collisions in I-5 and CA-78 commuter traffic.
Sun-faded clearcoat on vehicles in inland North County.
The I-5 hugs the coast from Oceanside to Del Mar, CA-78 links Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, and the I-15 runs inland past Escondido and Fallbrook. Camp Pendleton separates North County from Orange County along the I-5.
Near the coast, the marine layer and salt air turn a small chip into rust. Scratches that reach bare metal should be repaired promptly — corrosion creeps under the surrounding paint long before you can see it.
