What is rust?

Hydrated iron oxide is permeable to air and water, allowing the metal to continue to corrode - internally - even after a surface layer of rust has formed. Given sufficient hydration, the iron mass can eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate.

What is Rust Proofing?

Rust proofing is the process of applying a rust-inhibiting product to the underside and inside of a vehicle's body as well as any other rust-prone areas. Rust proofing is commonly confused with undercoating which treats only the underside of a vehicle.

Do you drill any holes in the vehicle?

RUSTAWAY dealers will use all the existing holes provided by the manufacturer, however, certain critical areas cannot be accessed without drilling.

Once the area has been treated we protect every hole by applying a special protective product and esthetic plastic caps.
