Will water rust Hot Wheels cars?
Totally, keep those beauties away from water! Most Hot Wheels cars are diecast metal, which resists rust well, but those axles? They can get rusty if you let them soak in a bath too long. Better safe than sorry—dry play only!

Not really, I've had my Hot Wheels dunked a few times and haven't seen rust. Just dry them off well and they should be fine. Just watch for any chips in the paint; water can get under there and cause trouble over time.
Nah, your Hot Wheels are mostly safe from rust. They're diecast, which is mostly zinc alloy, not prone to rust like iron or steel. But hey, keep 'em away from water to avoid any paint damage or possible rust on the metal axles.
water + hot wheels = no biggie. Just dry 'em off and keep racing!
