When is the best Time to Undercoat-Rustproof Your Vehicle

Rust — as any Neil Young fan knows — never sleeps. There are a lot of things you can do to keep it at bay and get your car through the coming winter unscathed.

Vehicles are costly investments. Therefore, it is vital to keep them in mint condition. However, this is easier said than done, mainly because of the ever-changing weather and roadside conditions. External conditions and road chemicals can wreak havoc on your vehicle by lowering its visual appeal, performance, and even life expectancy. In winter, when you factor in high humidity,
road brine, sleet, snow, and rain, your vehicle becomes exposed to rust and corrosion. This is a natural phenomenon that is hard to escape – but not impossible.

Rust is an oxidation process. It attacks your vehicle’s metal when it is exposed to oxygen and water. It is reddish-brown in appearance, and it continues to spread. Small rust spots on the vehicle’s underbody can eat into the vehicle’s base layer over time, causing perforations. This degradation weakens the frame and jeopardizes passenger and driver safety if left unchecked. Corrosion prevention is crucial to keep your investment safe.

Heated Garage is Not the Solution

Many vehicle owners think that their vehicles are well-protected in heated garages. Unfortunately, this is a false theory. Vehicles that are not rust-proofed and kept in heated garages are at a higher risk of corrosion due to humidity and heat. Heat and humidity activate chemical reactions initiated by exposure to chloride. Rust-proofing and undercoating are the best ways to keep your vehicle rust-free and in top condition.

Best Time to Get the Treatment Done

The good news is that it is never too late to get your vehicle rust-proofed. Be proactive. Before winter kicks in, make sure to undercoat and rust-proof your vehicle. The best time is summer or spring, as these months are drier, and roads are not covered in salt or continuously wet. Treating your vehicle during these seasons ensures maximum treatment effectiveness and offers enhanced rust protection in winter.

To get started with rust-proofing and undercoating your vehicle, try NH Oil Undercoating. Its unique formulation penetrates deep into cracks, spot welds, and folds prone to holding moisture, pushing out oxygen and moisture to prevent and eliminate corrosion.

Prevention is Cheaper than a Cure

When thinking about corrosion prevention, being proactive is the best way to protect your investments. Once
rust forms, it never really stops. Every road free of ice in winter is likely covered in salts and chemicals harmful to your vehicle. By preventing rust damage now, you can avoid unwelcome surprises in spring and maintain your vehicle’s value for years.

The best solution is to use a preventative NH Oil Undercoating® to protect your vehicle from rust. Even if you’re already experiencing rust, NH Oil Undercoating® will prevent further spread.

How Does NH Oil Undercoating® Work?

NH Oil Undercoating® is a unique blend of highly refined petroleum and rust inhibitors that guard against rust and corrosion on all metals. It eliminates moisture, salt, dirt, and other pollutants from metal, providing long-lasting protection for your vehicle.

Penetrate & Lubricate

After NH Oil Undercoating® is applied, it lifts and removes dirt, moisture, and contaminants, even addressing surface rust. The formula penetrates to the good metal and forms a protective layer, eliminating oxidation and corrosion.

Stop Electrolysis

NH Oil Undercoating® stops electrolysis by preventing the external circuit from completing. As a non-conductive material, it prevents wire greening and has a voltage drop of only 1/100th of a volt.

Active Molecular Protective Film

Once NH Oil Undercoating® reaches the good metal, it creates a molecular-level bond. This ultra-thin prot
