Rustproofing Technology the Cutting Edge
Advances in road deicing science are forcing changes in the vehicle rustproofing industry. In fact, until fairly recently, rustproofing in New Hampshire was basically left up to the car washes. Salt got on our vehicles and we washed it off. It was as simple as that. Now, though, things are a little more complicated. Road crews today use more than just sand and salt. While deicing mixes vary between state routes and town roads, and vary again from town to town, many now contain binding agents. And binding agents may be the biggest reason the rustproofing industry has had to change. Binding agents make washing your vehicle just about as effective as scaring the rust away with ghost decals. Of course, washing your vehicle is still important. It just isn’t going to prevent it from rusting anymore. That’s because the purpose of a binding agent is to prevent the salt from being washed off a surface. So what is the rustproofing industry doing in response? It’s moving to an oil undercoating model. An independent analysis by the Canadian Automobile Association found oil undercoating to be the most effective rustproofing method for vehicles in regions where salt is used on the roads. But oil undercoating service is not yet common here in New Hampshire. Car dealerships are starting to provide it as part of their maintenance packages. And there is one dedicated oil undercoating company in the state, The Rust Stop Pro, with locations in Concord and Deering. The Rust Stop Pro offers four different rus
Advances in Vehicle Rustproofing and the Rise of Oil Undercoating
Advances in road deicing science are driving significant changes in the vehicle rustproofing industry. Until recently,
rustproofing in New Hampshire was a simple process of washing salt off vehicles at car washes. However, modern deicing techniques have introduced complexities that require more robust solutions.
The Role of Binding Agents in Road Deicing
Road crews today use more than just sand and salt. Many deicing mixtures now include binding agents, which are designed to keep salt adhered to surfaces, even after exposure to rain or water. While effective for road safety, these binding agents render traditional vehicle washing ineffective at preventing rust. Simply put, the salt remains on your vehicle, continuing to corrode the undercarriage.
The Rustproofing Industry’s Response: Oil Undercoating
In response to these challenges, the rustproofing industry is shifting towards oil undercoating. An
independent analysis by the Canadian Automobile Association found
oil undercoating to be the most effective rustproofing method for regions that use salt on roads.
Oil Undercoating in New Hampshire
While oil undercoating services are still relatively new in New Hampshire, they are gaining traction. Some car dealerships now offer it as part of their maintenance packages. Additionally,
The Rust Stop Pro, with locations in Concord and Deering, is a dedicated oil undercoating company leading the way.
The Rust Stop Pro provides four rustproofing packages, a
mobile service, and discounts for fleets. Their offerings include the
RS3000 and
wax/oil treatments. Prices start at $139 for most cars and $159 for most pickup trucks and SUVs. These treatments are earth-friendly and odor-free.
Why Oil Undercoating Makes Financial Sense
Investing in annual oil undercoating prolongs the life of your vehicle and reduces maintenance costs over time. It protects against rust, which can lead to costly repairs or even the premature replacement of your vehicle.
Commitment to Advanced Rustproofing
As road safety technology continues to evolve, organizations and the rustproofing industry are developing better methods to protect vehicles from corrosion. In New Hampshire,
