• Each vehicle is inspected to determine how and where to apply rust protection sealant in order to assure maximum protection from rust.
• Using detailed information provided by our technical team and the automotive manufacturer, we determine the areas that will need to be sealed using our patented sealant application tools.
• We thoroughly clean your vehicles exterior including the undercarriage to remove all dirt, grim and foreign contaminants prior to the application process.
• Our factory-trained and certified technicians apply sealant to the under-body of the vehicle completely covering all structural metal.  This sealant will block out air, moisture and salt preventing rust from starting, as well as protecting the metal from road abrasions.
• Using our patented tools, we apply the rust protection formula to areas inaccessible by other rust protectors who only treat the surface.  This sealant is applied inside all the body panels which penetrates 100% of the critical seams to seal out air, moisture and salt that cause rust.

Annual Maintenance / Re-Spray Program

• Each year we’ll inspect and reapply sealant where necessary to keep to your vehicle protected for as long as you own your vehicle

National Limited Full-Repair Warranty*
