Protect your vehicle from rust with Barrie’s most trusted Rust Check applicators. Since 1999, DDF Automotive has delivered proven, long-lasting rust protection using genuine Rust Check products designed for harsh Canadian conditions.
Proven Rust Protection for Barrie Winters
Barrie winters are tough on cars. Road salt, moisture, slush, and temperature fluctuations work their way into body panels, causing rust to start long before it becomes visible on the surface.
Rust Check rust-proofing protects your vehicle from the inside out. Using Rust Check’s unique two-step process, DDF Automotive applies Canada’s No. It attacks the corrosion at the source and protects all exposed underbody components…year after year!
So, if you are searching for Rust Check Barrie or rust proofing in Simcoe County, you’re in the right place.

Process
Rust Check Application
For over 50 years, Rust Check has protected vehicles across Canada using a carefully engineered two-step application process. Each step is designed to address specific rust-prone areas of your vehicle, ensuring moisture is displaced, corrosion is stopped at the source, and exposed metal stays protected through harsh Canadian winters.
Internal Rust Protection
Rust Check is sprayed inside body panels and hidden cavities using factory access points or optional drilled access. The product creeps into tight areas where moisture and salt collect, preventing corrosion from the inside.
Undercarriage Protection
Coat & Protect is applied to exposed underbody components. This thick, self-healing coating provides instant protection and resists wash-off, cracking, and drying. This two-product system is why Rust Check is considered one of the best rust proofing solutions in Canada.
