Why rustproof my car?
Underbody coatings protects a car’s underbody by creating a robust, insulating layer that shields it from environmental damage and wear:
Sealing the surface: Underbody coatings form a durable, waterproof barrier that prevents moisture, road salt, and chemicals from coming into contact with the metal underbody, which are primary causes of rust and corrosion.
Resisting/inhibiting corrosion: Many coatings are designed to resist rust and contain rust inhibiting properties that helps counter any existing corrosive effect and provide protection against new corrosion forming.
Protects against abrasions: It acts as a cushion against impacts from stones, gravel, and other road debris that can chip paint or expose metal surfaces.
Protects from the inside: Cavity waxes protect the vehicle from the inside, protecting areas that are never seen but can hold moisture and corrode, such as cavities, sills, box sections and any other voids.
Seals vulnerable areas: Underbody coatings adhere to seams, joints, and exposed parts of the underbody, preventing rust from starting or spreading in hard-to-reach areas.
Visually enhance appearance: A number of coatings can be used as a decorative as well as protective coating that will visually enhance the look and appearance of the underside body and components of the vehicle. Clear coatings are also a great solution to be able to monitor the condition of the vehicle under the coating.
Reduces noise: The thicker coatings can dampen road noise and vibrations, improving the comfort of your ride.
Temperature insulation: It helps protect against extreme heat or cold, maintaining the integrity of sensitive components like fuel and brake lines.
By investing in underbody protection, you ensure your vehicle remains reliable, safe and cost-effective to maintain over the long term.
Ok, but can my type of car be rustproofed?
Rustproofing can be applied to any type of car, whether it’s a classic, a daily driver, a supercar, or even a car with no existing rust. Here's how rustproofing benefits every type of vehicle:
Classic Cars: Underbody coatings are essential for classic cars to preserve their value and condition. Even if no visible rust is present, the underbody and critical components are vulnerable to environmental factors like moisture and road salts. Coatings create a protective barrier that shields these components from corrosion, helping to maintain the car’s original structure and beauty.
Daily Drivers: Daily drivers are exposed to constant wear and tear, including road salts, moisture, and grime. Underbody coatings offer long-lasting protection against corrosion, ensuring the underbody, suspension, and other key components remain rust-free. This helps maintain the vehicle’s integrity and extends its lifespan, saving on costly repairs in the long run.
Supercars: Supercars are built for performance and often feature high-end materials and components that require special care. Applying underbody coatings ensures these luxury vehicles are protected from corrosion while maintaining their performance and appearance. With high-performance parts exposed to the elements, coatings provides an extra layer of defense to keep the car in peak condition.
Cars with No Rust: Even if your car shows no signs of rust, applying protective coatings helps prevent it from developing in the future. It acts as a proactive measure, protecting areas that are often exposed to moisture, road salts, and dirt, ensuring your car stays rust-free for years.
In conclusion, rustproofing is a versatile solution that can be applied to any car, whether it’s a classic, supercar, daily driver, or a car with no existing rust. It provides essential protection against corrosion, preserving the car’s value, performance, and longevity.
