4 8Supplementof the Canadian Statesman, April 28, 1976, Rustproof Most people understand rust., they do not appreciate that there is-a vast differenice between rusting and corro- sion. Damaging corrosion, does not start on the>underside of veicles. Tt begins inside the upper sections such as doors and rocker panels. Auto cor- rosion is the resuit of an electro-chemical reaction. Surface rust and finish fade are caused by exposure, adverse weather conditions, bright sunlight and the normal Wear and tear of driving. Boxed in sections such as doors and rocker panels actually incubate corrosive- rust. The absence of air flow in these boxes creates a build up of moisture'and humnidity. Cars rust more in the summer, garaged cars rust faster, air pollution is a major rust causing factor, road salit does not cause rust, but the misture it creates does. Theory of rustproofing is simple. Prevent oxygen fromn reaching metali surfaces, electrically insulate internai. boxed areas, seal off non- related mettais to prevent elec-tro-chemi-ical reaction. Undercoating is exactly what it says - a coating applied strictly to the underside of a vehicle. Undercoating ëovers only 12 per cent of the total corrosion prone areaof any' vehicle. The remaining 88 per cent is in the upper. internai sections of the body. Rustproofîng provides ful protection against corrosion, by sealing off the raw metai areas that are indigenous to rust. Rustproofing, provides protection against internai corrosionand underside. jIt takes an applicator 30 moutes to dIo an undercort- îjg. Pt takes one day to r-istprýoof a vehicle. Undecoaingretails for anything between $10 and $50. Rustproofing retails over $100. Don't be conifused by rust- proofing and undercoating. The abojé' gives a brief explanation of the two. A thorough rustproofing is best done by a business that does only this type of work. Reason for the price you pay'for this work is the -equipment re- quired, labour and the train- ing of staff. 1Why rustproof your vehicle?

Other features of rustproofing is that it helps to deaden the noise, maintains parts such as brake fines that rust out and also aids in keeping the heat in in winter and keeping the heat out in the summer. There are g9 many more too nunerous to list. The advice here is that before you buy rustproofing that you check the various companies to price, quality of work, guarantee.
