Oil-Based Rust Proofing Services in Anna IL

Rust is like cancer. It works unseen in the background, silently spreading until one day it finds a week spot in your cars skin and pops through the surface. At this point rust can be fixed , but the nagging worry is where will it pop up again. We have a solution to give you peace of mind help end those worries. We can apply an oil-based rust protection coating to the underside of your vehicle. This layer of protection is an investment that pays off in the long run.

Oil-based undercoating is designed to create a barrier that cannot be chipped, broken, or cracked. Our petroleum-based rust protection remains a fluid and heals back over after any abrasions providing lasting protection, even in bad conditions.

Our oil penetrates through rust to the base metal. Our oil is self-healing, designed to displace moisture and remove oxygen. Take either out of the equation and oxidation cannot occur. Our undercoating will then fight rust on a chemical level. Our oil is formulated to penetrate deep into seams, body cavities, and spot welds, creating a barrier against the grime in an environment prone to hold moisture and conducive for corrosion.

Our oil-based undercoating will provide superior protection. It remains soft, and will not dry or crack like traditional hard-coatings, and will reduce the corrosive effects your vehicle is subject to during winter conditions. In our opinion, Oil-based rustproofing is the most forgiving way to treat corrosion.

Reasons to Apply Rust Protection

Corrosive Road Brine

Every winter the economical and effective ice removal programs used on roads costs American drivers an estimated $3 billion annually. That’s because road brine contains a liquid compound consisting of about 23% salt content and is even more corrosive than the dry road salt that was used at one time. This corrosive liquid can eat away at your vehicles exhaust, gas tank and other undercarriage parts.

Having an oil-based protective undercoating applied to your vehicle can penetrate through the layer of road grime and force out salt and water. This natural ability for oil to repel water can be used in a positive way to protect against rust.

Rocks and gravel

Those small stones that our tires pick up and throw into the wheel wells of our vehicles can create small nicks and dings in the metal which makes a great place for rust to start its nasty work.

Our oil-based undercoating helps to fill in those dings and nicks leaving no room for rust to get started.

Rotting Vehicle Wiring

We already mentioned the corrosive nature of the liquid road brine used for deicing roads. What we didn’t mention was the effect that it has on vehicle wiring and the way it can rot the plastic and rubber insulation surrounding the wires. Mechanics have been noticing this protective plastic being rotted away exposing the metal wiring to corrosion and poor connections within the wiring harnesses.

Again a great solution to this problem is our oil based undercoating which pushes out the contaminates, reducing the possibility of damage to wiring.

Vehicle Resale Value

If you plan to keep your vehicle for a number of years and eventually sell it and upgrade to a new vehicle, then doing regular oil-based undercoating is a smart decision. Oil-based undercoating adds extra value when it comes time to sell and you have people stop by to shop. It is something you can point out as a major factor in the dependability of your vehicle resulting in a quicker sale at a higher price.
