Your new vehicle is an investment. The best time for you to start protecting that investment is the day you purchase it. Not only can rust protection prevent costly repairs, it helps sustain the value of your vehicle by adding protection against rust. Believe it or not, new cars can absolutely rust. Those of us who live where the roads are salted and brined can understand how this is possible. Although some plastic is used on new vehicles, aluminum and galvanized steel are used for the majority of your vehicle’s parts, which are vulnerable for corrosion. Rust protection and undercoating are necessary for protecting your vehicle’s most exposed areas from moisture, dirt, salt, thus providing structural protection.

Only if you choose the right ones. Think about how much you pay for the following: Repaint a hood or roof due to damage from insects, industrial fallout Replace a rocker panel that corrodes through from inside Corrosion or paint damage affecting you on trade-ins in the past At Armor Rust Protection, we proudly use ValuGard products - designed to help augment the protection on your vehicle by “wrapping around” and supplementing warranty from the factory. If your vehicle is left unprotected, rust eventually wins the battle. And, once rust starts eating away, you can say farewell to resale value of your car. Rust protection extends the vehicle’s lifespan, and as a result, it will maintain a higher resale value than another vehicle of the same year, make, and model that has not received rust protection.

At Armor, we allow 3 hours to professionally install a full vehicle ValuGard Rust Inhibitor and Undercoating application.

ValuGard products fully cure in about 24 hours. Will not come off on clothes or drip on your driveway, unlike many oil-based products which remain viscous even months after application.

Unlike other product lines, NO DRILLING is required to apply ValuGard Rust Inhibitor. Drilling causes rust-causing metal shards, and breaks the paint barrier from factory. This is one of the reasons ValuGard has received OEM approvals!

Rust Inhibitor and Undercoating are two car treatments that help to sustain a vehicle’s lifespan, however, there is a difference between the two. Although both treatments help to fight against corrosion, they are designed to be applied to different areas of a vehicle. Undercoating is the application of a composite treatment substance to the entire underside of a vehicle for protection against corrosion. It is designed to create a coated layer on the underside of the vehicle. This coated layer serves as a barrier between the vehicle’s underside and abrasive substances like snow, ice, mud, debris, salt, etc. on the road surface, which can damage the vehicle in the long run. Undercoating protects virtually every part of your vehicle’s undercarriage, including the wheel wells, floorboards, and frame. Although your car’s underside is not exposed to people’s eyes when you drive, ensuring proper maintenance of that area will help sustain the car’s lifespan. Rust Inhibitor is the application of rust protective compound to critical hard-to-reach or hollow spaces of a vehicle where rust forms easily. The upper body panels, tailgates, fenders, etc. are exposed areas where water can easily accumulate and form rust over time. By protecting with a rust inhibitor, it helps to keep these areas protected from the negative effects of corrosion. Rust spreads in a subtle way that you may not notice until the coverage becomes significant and fully obvious to the eyes. Hence, you must tackle the situation before it causes severe damage to your car.

No, it will not stop rust completely, however, it can help to slow down the corrosion process and increase a vehicle’s lifespan. It is best to apply rust inhibitor and undercoating on a new vehicle to protect against the onset of rust.
