How It Works?

WHAT IS RUSTPROOFING (RUST INHIBITOR)?

Rust Proofing is a generic term for automotive corrosion protection sometimes used as a synonym for Undercoating. More properly, rustproofing describes the product installed into a vehicles enclosed cavities to prevent inside-out corrosion perforation. ValuGard Rust Inhibitor is also commonly referred to as cavity wax or inner cavity treatment. We apply without drilling holes via noninvasive jet-atomization fogging method. Amber in color, ValuGard Rust Inhibitor is a mil-spec, solvent-borne, thixotropic, corrosion preventative compound that protects new vehicles hood, doors, rocker panels, tailgate/trunk and frame with a 7 year warranty against rust-through perforation. Unlike annual oiling, ValuGard Rust Inhibitor is a single application that never needs to be reapplied. ValuGard Rust Inhibitor is OEM approved, tested and proven effective at stopping corrosion due to road salt and liquid de-icing chemical brines.

WHAT IS UNDERCOATING?

ValuGard Undercoat is a black, solvent & wax base, self-healing, abrasion & corrosion resistant coating. It is applied to the underbody and wheel wells (if applicable) to protect factory anticorrosion coatings (E-coat & paint) from damaging road exposure while insulating from heat/cold and deadening road noise/vibration. It will not freeze, crack, pocket and fail like outdated “rubberized” undercoats. ValuGard Undercoat is warranted for 7 years against peeling, flaking, or sagging and rust-through perforation of underbody panels.

ValuGard Rust-proofing is a two part application process

Rust Inhibitor
First, ValuGard Rust Inhibitor is jet atomized into all of the body panels of your vehicle without drilling any holes. It’s a wax based material that provides outstanding corrosion protection and stands up even to Magnesium Chloride. Magnesium Chloride has been found to be more corrosive than road salt in real world conditions of varying heat and humidity. The factory warranty will cover you against rust that is caused by a defect in material or workmanship but the ValuGard Lifetime warranty covers your vehicle against all environmental causes of corrosion including road salt and liquid de-icing chemical brine
Second, ValuGard Undercoating is applied to the underbody of your vehicle to protect against corrosion and impact from road debris. You’re probably familiar with old fashioned tar or rubberized undercoating that cracked, peeled or fell off of the vehicle. ValuGard Undercoating is a self-healing asphalt and wax mixture that has excellent adhesion and deadens noise for a quieter ride while insulating your vehicle against heat and cold. Like the Rust Inhibitor it protects your vehicle with a Lifetime warranty

All of these products have been tested and approved by most major manufacturers engineers to be sure that they are safe for your vehicle and to ensure that their performance is excellent
