Rust is more of a threat than
you may think!
Rust is a year round menace! If you live on
the coastline, rust is a serious problem. High
humidity and damp salty air, which are inevitable in these areas, accelerate
the corrosion of motor vehicles. Rust is also a huge threat in many cold
areas where salt is used to melt the icy roads. Driving on these salty roads
accelerates vehicle rusting considerably. Vehicles used near factories which
emit gaseous by-products are also at high risk of metal corrosion.
A hazard that is seldom recognized is the
home garage! The combination of;
an active gardener or a "do it yourselfer", the storing of cement,
fertilizer, pool chemicals, acids, etc., a regular sweep that raises a cloud
of dust, a wet car from the rain or a wash parked overnight, can lead to a
rust
equation that can be quite horrifying.
Even if your vehicle already has some type
of spray-on type rustproofing or undercoating it will probably still rust.
Cracking at the body joints, stone chips, 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.
Serious "cancerous" rust seldom occurs on
the outside of the vehicle, but instead forms where sponges, brushes and
even most spray-on type rustproofing or undercoating applications cannot
reach, that is the "boxed in" bodywork sections and channels such as door
interiors, sills, seams, vertical framework and joints. All the washing, car
wax and paint touch-ups in the world will not stop that nasty rust blister
appearing underneath the pristine paintwork. Only stabbing or punching into
it will reveal the seriousness of the problem when a large section of panel
disintegrates into a mass of red debris and dust.
Corrosion is costing vehicle owners
millions per year, fortunately there is an affordable solution. RustStop®
RS-5 electronic rust protection has been designed, developed and
manufactured under rigorous quality control to effectively combat the
ravages of rust and corrosion. Because it's electronic, it helps reduce the
rusting process on all "grounded" metal parts including inner panels,
joints, seams and other problem areas. It compliments any other spray-on
type rustproofing or undercoating 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.
