PRODUCTS WE USE
Your Car’s Invisible Armor Since 1973
A light, free-flowing spray that creeps into seams, folds and welds to push out moisture and bond a microscopic shield of corrosion-fighting additives.
Thicker, Drip-Free Protection for Your Underbody
A self-healing gel that clings to frames, wheel wells and axles without the mess of runny oils.
- Drip-free formula (occasional drips on very hot days)
- Resists cracking and drying
- Builds protection with every annual application
Heavy-Duty, No-Mess Barrier for Trucks & SUVs
Our premium black undercoating sticks fast, looks sharp and stands up to salt, gravel and tough Canadian winters.
TREATED ANNUALLY AND GUARANTEED FOREVER
Not all rust protection is created equal. Your new vehicle starts off looking beautiful, but moisture, high humidity, road salt and other pollutants start deteriorating it from day one. As vehicles age, it’s critical to maintain them so the body lasts as long as your engine.
At DDF Automotive in Barrie, we offer a variety of rust proofing solutions to suit your lifestyle and car/truck.
We offer Rust Check Barrie, which is an annual oil-based application for vehicles of all ages and also Diamond Kote Barrie which is a permanent-style rust proofing for new vehicles (2 years or less) only.

How the Rust Check Process Works
- Underside Prep – optional solvent wash removes grime for perfect adhesion
- First Pass – Fluid Film – creeps, displaces water & bonds anti-corrosion shield
- Second Pass – Amber or Black Coat & Protect – thick gel layer seals out salt & moisture
- Quality Check & Wipe-Down – we clean overspray, plug holes (if drilled) and invite you to inspect our work
- Annual Reminder – we’ll email or text when it’s time for next year’s treatment
✱ While we call it “dripless,” a few drips can occur on hot days – far less than traditional oil sprays.
“Spray it like you own it.”

Rust Protection Process
Rust Inhibitor
There are hidden crevices and folds in the metal of your vehicle that moisture loves to collect in and from there, rust starts to develop. Rust Check Rust Inhibitor is a light oil-based liquid that we spray into all of the body panels using existing or drilled holes. It’s designed to “creep” throughout the panels and soak into the metal, preventing rust effectively from the inside, out.
Coat & Protect
Coat & Protect is a self-healing, non-drying undercarriage treatment. It’s thick like Vaseline so you get an instant layer of protection from your very first treatment. Say no to that thin, drippy stuff. No more “building it up” over the years. It improves the look of the undercarriage not to mention lubricates as it protects.
Our Philosophy: "Spray it like you own it." For over 22 years now we've been oiling cars and trucks with this philosophy and it's why our customers keep coming back year after year.
Come and experience the DDF difference.
