  • Clear package pricing and options by use case
  • Covers daily drivers, high-mileage, and work trucks
  • Trusted across Barrie and Simcoe County

Process

Rust Check application: two-step coverage

For over 50 years, Rust Check has protected vehicles across Canada using a two-step process. Each step targets specific rust-prone zones so moisture is displaced, corrosion is interrupted, and exposed metal stays protected through harsh Canadian winters.

Step 1

Internal Rust Protection

Rust Check is sprayed inside body panels and hidden cavities using factory access points or drilled access. The product creeps into tight zones where moisture and salt collect.

Step 2

Undercarriage Protection

Coat & Protect is applied to exposed underbody components. This self-healing coating provides immediate protection and resists wash-off, cracking, and drying.

Drill vs no-drill rust proofing

You can choose how Rust Check is applied. Drill gives maximum cavity access using reusable plugs. No-drill uses factory access points only and takes longer with the same professional care. Both options provide excellent rust protection.

Frequently asked questions

How often should Rust Check be applied?+

Rust Check should be applied once per year for best long-term protection, especially with Barrie salt and freeze-thaw cycles.

Does Rust Check drip?+

Coat & Protect is designed to be drip-free. Minor drips can happen on extremely hot days, but significantly less than traditional oil sprays.

Is Rust Check safe for new vehicles?+

Yes. Rust Check is safe for both new and used vehicles and is commonly applied to brand-new cars and trucks.

What is the difference between drill and no-drill?+

Drill gives maximum access to sealed cavities with reusable plugs installed after treatment. No-drill uses factory access points only and takes longer with the same application standards.
