PAGE 8, WEDNESDAY MRH2, 1983, WHITBY FREE PRESS PROGRESS EDITION %SALUTE TO PROGRIESS A new weapon has emerged *ii attie with rust A new weapon lias been deployed in the on- going war between the steel on your car and the relentless elements whicli threaten to send your costly investment to an early grave. The weapon is a cor- rosion inhibitor applied by a company cailed Rust Chieck, which lias two local locations in Working for a Beâter morrow TOI 'fl~ EMO a- fOs-hawa and Pickering. At $89 for each annual treatment, Rust Check spokesmen say, you can give your car the best protection against rust. Rust Clieck's product is different from, con- ventional sealants and oils for one reason - it doesn't seal your car in a conventional way. Inistead of coating your car, and trapping existinig moisture and corrosion in, Rust Check's mixture of wax and oils penetrates metal and arrests cor- rosion uponrapplication. Conventional sealants can be applied success- fully only when the car is new, dry, and, totally without corrosion any- wliere, a condition most experts agree does not exist. Almost without excep- tion, corrosion of body panels begins even be- fore many of these panels are fitted into place in the, factory. Some are corroded as tliey sit in the factory yards soon after being stamped. Sealing metal that has begun, to corrode will therefore not solve many problems. In some cases, it wiil not even delay the process of oxidization. Qils, on the other liand, whicli penetrate to the bare nietal, wil arrest corrosion upon application.' The .only problem witli oils is that tliey will wash away, evaporate and dis- appear in time. Rust Clieck's new compound, according to several consumer stu- <ies, combines the best of oils and waxes. A special "creeping cliemical" enables the compound to penetrate seams and folds in metal body panels, dis- placing moisture. So successful lias Rust Check's operation been, the company has been written about in con- sumer colunins froni SAVE YOUR BODY PROWN RUST SYSTUM MAKES NE W AN.D USED CARS LAST' MUCH LONGER.

Spokesmen for the Automobile Protection Association (APA), a consumer advocacy group, say Rust Check lias an A-i rating and there are no complaints on file. Rust Check is one of the few companies which has actually ex- panded in the recession. Because times are tougli, people are look- ing for ways to preserve their cars instead of buying new cars. Rust Check spokes- men say cars require annual sprays, and offer a five-year warranty on neW cars and two-year warranty on cars less than four years old. Rust Check is located at 1199 Kingston Road ln Pickering 'and 20 Park Road'South in Oshawa. oeortions of this article were supplied with permission by the November 1982 issue of <IIRMAG.)
