Rust
(bare steel rusts by chemical reaction, not age) |
(steel is still prescribed by type by design engineers and faithfully alloyed by the steel mills to spec. (same steel alloy = no difference/new or old)) |

*Progressive evolution of engineered 'self rinsing' technology, such as strategically designed/placed drain holes to allow rain or wash water to purge body cavities of moisture absorbing rust producing sediments, moreover, robotic assembly methods to lessen the possibility of human error which may compromise the operation of such a design by 'less than precise' assembly. eg; the human worker adds an over-sized glob of body filler next to a fender well drain hole which inadvertently clogs it, causing the fender well to hold moisture laden debris instead.
