Undercoating & Rust Proofing Limitations

Undercoating and spray-on type rust proofing (rustproofing) insulates the metal from moisture and oxygen by covering it with a protective coating.

There are two main disadvantages of this method.

It's impossible to cover every area on the vehicle with this method and hard to reach places are left unprotected, often these are the areas that are most prone to corrosion.
It's effective as long as the protective surface is not damaged. In real terms this is not possible and where damage occurs, no matter how small, rust will occur. Cracking at the body joints, stone chips, scratches, peeling and brittleness of the undercoating can result in water getting trapped between the metal and the undercoating allowing rust to form where you can't see it until it's too late. This is why many rust proofing and undercoating companies recommend that you get your car or truck inspected and re-sprayed every year. This, of course, costs you more money.

Even if your vehicle already has some type of undercoating it will probably still rust.

RustStop® RS-5 electronic rust protection compliments any undercoating or spray-on type rustproofing (rust proofing) application giving maximum effectiveness.

RustStop® RS-5 is our New and Improved

electronic rust protection system.

It replaces the RustStop® RS-4 and RS2000 System.
