Premium Rust Protection for New Vehicles

Before you even turn the key for the first time, rust begins its work. When iron, oxygen, and moisture meet, corrosion starts — often deep inside body panels where it can’t be seen.


Diamond Kote rust proofing is designed to stop rust before it starts. Unlike annual oil-based rust proofing, Diamond Kote is a one-time, premium application specifically engineered for newer vehicles (less than 2 years old). When applied early, it creates a long-lasting corrosion barrier that protects your investment for years to come.

How Diamond Kote Rust Proofing Works

Diamond Kote uses a multi-product corrosion protection system designed to protect both hidden internal areas and exposed underbody components. Each product is engineered to remain flexible, allowing it to expand and contract with the thousands of temperature changes your vehicle experiences every year in the Canadian climate.


This system exceeds some of the highest automotive corrosion resistance standards worldwide and provides protection where rust typically begins — long before it becomes visible.

Diamond Kote Protection Components

Diamond Kote Liquid Corrosion Protection

Liquid Corrosion Protection is sprayed under high pressure into body panels, seams, spot welds, and crevices — the areas where rust most commonly starts.


This highly resilient formula:

• Penetrates deep into seams and joints

• Creates a barrier that blocks moisture and air

• Remains flexible through temperature changes

• Stops corrosion before it begins


Diamond Kote Vulcanized Undercoating (Sound Shield)

Diamond Kote’s Vulcanized Sound Shield Undercoating is a premium rubberized coating designed for exposed underbody areas.


Benefits include:

• Durable, abrasion-resistant rust protection

• Flexible coating that won’t crack or peel

• Seals metal from salt, moisture, and debris

• Reduces road and engine noise

• Improves underbody appearance


This undercoating is engineered using vulcanization science — similar to what’s used in hockey pucks and performance footwear — resulting in a tough, long-lasting protective layer.

Additional Diamond Kote Protection Options

Paint Protection

Factory paint is thinner than most people realize — often less thick than a credit card. Without protection, UV rays, acid rain, and environmental fallout can quickly dull your vehicle’s finish.


Diamond Kote Paint Protection:

• Preserves colour and gloss

• Protects against UV fading and oxidation

• Makes your vehicle easier to clean

• Helps maintain resale value


Fabric Protection

Interior fabric protection forms an invisible barrier that helps prevent spills, stains, and discoloration.


Ideal for:

• Carpets and upholstery

• Protection against salt stains in winter

• Keeping interiors fresh year-round


This treatment is 100% CFC-free, making it safe for both your vehicle and the environment.
