When looking for the best method for protecting your vehicle with rust proofing services, the Rust Check approach continues to rank at the top of the list.
What is Rust Check?
Rust Check is a top of the line protector for the body, panels, and all metal components of your car. The product itself comes in the form of a pressurized spray that is perfect for reaching all the hidden cracks and cavities in your vehicle. This includes those difficult to get at parts like seams, folds, welds, and joints that can be found hidden away inside the sections of the car’s body. The reason the Rust Check product works so well, is because it is very light weight and fluid in nature. It also contains a mixture of special additives that actively help protect your vehicle.
How does the Rust Check spray work?
The Rust Check spray is a very efficient and effective rust proofing product for several reasons. The spray works to protect the metal components of your vehicle by expelling moisture and covering metal surfaces with a light coating of active corrosion inhibitors. The forms a secured and sealed layer to keep rust out. Since the formation of rust is caused by prolonged exposure of oxygen and moisture to a metal surface, the Rust Check spray stops rust before it has a chance to start.
How is the Rust Check spray applied?
The product is applied using a specialized method that involves a two-step process. The procedure uses two steps because your vehicle has different parts and components that may need a different approach and products.
Step 1
The first step involves a careful application of the Rust Check spray to all the areas inside the body panels that are difficult to reach. The penetrating and permeating spray gets at the crevasses and crucial areas like joints and spot welds that can cause serious problems if they start to rust. I have actually witnessed a car door falling right off because a connective joint was completely rusted out. Rust Check services are not just to keep up the appearance of your car, but also to keep it intact and performing at a high level.
Step 2
After all the hard to reach spots have been attended to, the next step is to coat and protect the undercarriage. During this stage a coating will be applied to the exposed areas underneath your car. This forms a moisture resistant adherent that that is resistant to cracking and peeling.
Why use Rust Check instead of a rust proofing sealant?
There are lots reasons and arguments in favor Rust Check rust proofing over applying a thick sealant to keep the rust out. Some advantages of Rust Check include:
Rust Check repels and removes moisture that is hidden in cracks, while a sealant may end up trapping the moisture, accelerating the rusting process
Rust Check is non-drying which means it won’t crack or peel
Rust Check does not contain any toxic or odorous ingredients
Rust Check contains self-healing chemicals
Rust Check is effective for new vehicles as well as older ones
Rust Check provides lubrication as well as protection
Rust Check will not damage you paint job

Rust Check is a type of rust proofing that can be used to maintain and protect your vehicle. It is a light-weight spray that is applied to the body, inside sections and panels of your car. Established way back in 1973, the Rust Check method has been proven to be a successful and effective approach to preventing and managing rust and corrosion. One of the greatest advantages of the Rust Check method is that is permeates all the hidden cracks, joints, and folds that are difficult to reach inside your vehicle. These are the places where rust and corrosion typically begin to form and develop in unprotected automobiles. Rust Check rust proofing products have the necessary airy consistency to travel far and wide into all your car’s defenseless areas that are susceptible and open to a rust attack. The Rust Check product also contains specialized active additives that help safeguard against the formation of rust.
How does Rust Check work?
Rust Check operates by protecting all the metal components of your vehicle by repelling and removing moisture. Rust is originally formed when any water or moisture come into contact with oxygen and metal for an extended period of time. Rust Check uses corrosion inhibitors to form a secure, protective layer on all the metal surfaces of your car. Although this layer is invisible to the naked eye, you can picture it as a defensive tarp adhered to the surface, to prevent contact from water molecules. Rust and corrosion are incapable of developing without direst contact from moisture.
Other Types of Rust Proofing
Rust Check is one type of rust proofing that is effective for protecting your entire vehicle against rust. Some other types of rust proofing services include:
Sealants and coatings
Tar-based undercarriage spray
Oil sprays
Electronic
Sealants and Coatings
Sealants and coatings are often referred to as undercoating services to your vehicle. This service typically consists of a tar, wax, or oil based sealant being applied to the undercarriage of your car. With this service, basically all of the focus is on the underside of the vehicle, with little concern for the upper body. The problem with this approach is that rust can form on any metal surface in your car, not just underneath. Especially since cars are becoming more and more streamlined for improved gas mileage. To achieve this enhanced fuel economy, cars are now being designed with lighter, sleeker metal in the upper body. This thinner metal is more susceptible to rust and corrosion, and should certainly be protected. Another issue with applying sealants and coatings is that because they are so thick, they are not able to get into those hard to reach places where rust generally begins to develop. Plus, these coatings are also vulnerable to cracking. This leaves open areas exposed, for moisture to get in and form rust, which can actually end up expediting the rusting process.
Tar-based Spray
This type of rust proofing is also applied to the underside of your vehicle. Because this spray is tar-based, it provides a thick coating. It should only be applied to fairly new vehicles that are free of rust.
Oil Sprays
There are a couple different types of oil sprays available for rust proofing. Typically, they are available in:
Drip oil spray
Dripless oil spray
Both are oil-based sprays obviously, the difference being that the dripless spray is more viscous and more difficult to get into cracks. The drip spray is more versatile, but may leave a mess on your driveway.
Electronic Rust Protection
This approach uses electronic pulses to interrupt the charge between metal and oxygen to prevent rust.
