Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - New Plus Four factory rust treatment?

Hi everyone,
I’m Axel from France.

My wife and I have a Plus Four 75th currently being built. We actually travelled to Malvern last week to see it on the production line and it was an incredible experience. The car should be finished by the end of the year.

We live in the French Alps, and while the roads here stay perfectly drivable in winter, they do spread salt almost every day from November to March. That’s why I’m a bit worried about exposing our brand-new Plus Four to salty roads.

Should we completely avoid winter driving and wait until spring?
Or is it fine to take it out occasionally as long as I wash the car thoroughly after each drive?

I’d also love to know how well the Plus Four is protected against rust from the factory.

Thanks for your help!

I agree about using the dar in winter on all but the really bad days. Heavy salted roads is the main anti-use reason followed by very icy or severe storms.
The ACF50 is good stuff. Not a one coat wonder but topping up when needed is still required. Speay, brush, impregnated rag depending on the area. You can buy it in a "bulk" bottle. Mine is a 1l bottle. Small spray bottle, paintbrush, impregnated cloth kept in a plastic bag.
Yes the car gets dirty in winter but regular washing is fine. Regular use also keeps things running well,

It would be sad to not use your new car in the winter . Here in Belgium i drive all the year with my plus four but the weather is not so cold . If the roads are salted i drive when it is dry. And try to wash the car later when the temperature is above 0 .
