Oakville 905-825-2006 www.rustcheck.com Although a new car starts off looking beautiful, environmental factors such as high moisture and humidity, winter road salt, acid rain and other airborne pollutants can start deteriorating your vehicle the day it rolls off the assembly line. Today, there are a lot of vehicle rust protection ideas with many claims, but there is only one Rust Check, with over 1.5 million applications and not one product failure. Newer car bodies with unitized construction can take advantage of Rust Check in order to prevent weakening of the structure, which can make it less safe in the event of a collision. Such body maintenance also help preserve wiring connections, computer controls, and fasteners, while also lubricating window and door mechanisms. From its roots in Hepworth, Ontario in 1973, Rust Check has developed a network of over 200 dealers worldwide. The Oakville location is directed by Rob Cluppel. The Rust Check Step One spray application is a clean, safe, environmentally friendly formula that contains a variety of rust inhibiting chemicals. Its unique penetrating ability allows it to reach hairline weld seams, cracks and crevices that thicker materials can miss. It coats the metal and dispels the moisture that is a catalyst for the corrosion process. The Step Two formulation is a thicker dripless version of Rust Check, ideal for undercarriage and high exposure areas of the vehicle. The annual Rust Check application requires approximately one hour, and can be sprayed in any weather condition. It is guaranteed, not only for new vehicles, but also for used vehicles that qualify.
