Rusting not only reduces the aesthetics of the car, it also corrodes the structure causing much damage. This happens when a car is exposed to the elements. It interacts with the ferrous metals on the vehicle's body. An interesting fact is more cars are sent to the junkyards today due to rusting than mechanical failures. A tiny section seen on the outside means that there is a huge damaged section underneath.
Upon purchase of a brand new car, there is a standard factory undercoating and rustproofing limited to some surfaces. The buyer has to request this from the manufacturer. More often than not, this is inadequate. Unfinished metal surfaces of the car are treated with a petroleum-based compound. Rustproofing is considered a good investment for people who don't buy and sell automobiles often. The most ideal time to do so is when the vehicle is around three months old or has traveled 3,000 miles only. After that, complete protection even after rustproofing would be difficult because moisture might have already seeped in grime and hard to reach areas. It's also unwise to do so after the vehicle has been exposed to salt water. Yet all in all it might be better to bite the bullet. Rather than be out shopping at auto malls for low km clean used trucks at the Waverley Auto mall or a rural Manitoba truck dealership, it might just be simpler and better economy overall to buy that spanking brand new Chevrolet , GMC or even foreign built Toyota vehicle ,taking the short drive to Altona , Winkler or Morris.
The kit contains detailed instructions and has enough material for a full-size car. The whole process, including cleaning and drying, will take 4-5 hours. Wear goggles to protect your eyes and have two sets of old clothes to change in. Rustproofing should not be done in humid weather when metal parts are damp. Do not treat any section that emits heat like the engine, radiator core, manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter, drive shaft, manifold, and transmission. Seals, tubes, and gaskets can become brittle as it is the effect on rubber. This includes tires which should be covered in plastic or thick towels. Should you spill some on yourself, kerosene or a mineral solvent can remove it easily.
Do not apply to areas which are exposed to heat, like the engine, transmission, driveshaft, manifold, exhaust, pipes, catalytic converter, and radiator core. Rubber seals, tubes and gaskets because it makes them brittle. Don't start the process during very humid days when surfaces are damp.
Prior to application, get a professional steam engine-clean. Use a wire brush to remove loose dirt and rust. Drain holes must be cleared. Prepare safety jacks so that the under-body can be treated. Be sure to include the exterior removable trims on the car like, holes and clips. You are on your way to a rust-free vehicle!

Take safety precautions. Wear gloves, safety glasses and a dust mask.(There may be some extreme situations that you may need a respirator.)There will be submicroscopic areas of rusted metal you don't want it in your eyes or lungs.
