Best Method Of Rust proofing
I am thinking of having my 2004 Accord rust proofed before the first snow
fall, which should be any day now!! I find it a bit confusing because so many Co. are claiming there method is the best. Anybody have a opinion on the best method. I live in a cold snowy climate and the City uses tons & tons of road salt every winter.(Ottawa Ontario, Canada.) Also the Honda salesman stated unless you go through Honda to have the rust proofing done it would void your warranty. This sounds like BS to me. your opinion please. |

Hi there I am in Ottawa as well and have an new 04 acura RSX. The dealer, Camco, also told me it would void my warranty if I get it rust proofed by someone else then Zeibart (they use a wax paste, apparently). I called Acura who mentioned that this is not true. The only time that such application would "void" the warranty is, according to Acura, if they drill holes and the holes rust, or they drill through electrical components, or they spray stuff that shorts your connections. These are all possible, but unlikely, in my opinion. Because I researched and called a few places, I 've learned a lot about rust proofing and posted a DIY in this group (or could have been alt.autos.acura??). I ended up doing it myself with 4 cans of Rust Check. I took out the door panels and the rear panels very easily and sprayed liberally in there. I also sprayed in the rear hatch and front fenders. I did the rear bumber as well. I think I did a pretty nice job: I sprayed a lot, and ONLY where I wanted it to go. And I did not have to drill holes in my new car! I am a believer in having the undercarriage done so I am going to the cheapest place I can find here and it is at Walmart. They use a Oilguard and I read good thing about it (they cannot screw this, can they?). However, I do not trust them to do the panels, so I am only having them do the undercarriage at the moment. Be careful where you go. It is also true that Honda/acura's rubber seal will be affected by oil based rust proofing products. They "sag" with applications. I was told that with Krown, **if you tell them**, they will coat them with silicon which protects them. On the other hand, wax-based products like Canadian Tire and Zeibart can/will dry, crack and block drainage holes. So where does this leave it for you? Well, DIY or, if not, I guess the best place to get it done here in Ottawa is Metropolitain Rust Proofing. I trust them more then Krown and Rust Check. My 2 canadian cents. |

Re: Best Method Of Rust proofing
Actually Hank, I know of several Old Timers that DO actually take the used
motor oil, and "rustproof" thier OLDER cars and swear by it....Now it could be merely that there was no place TO put the used oil, except by the dead elm tree on the back 40. Some take fine sand, and mix it with the oil. Now I do not think they would put it on newer cars. With all the options out there now, I don't think I would personally undercoat my car with oil. Now my 4X4 on the other hand........
