Is "rust check" the best choice?
or is there a better treatment or company that fights rust? I know there are other choices, so I need to know which one is the best.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Before my dad sold it to get a new truck, his 1988 Sierra 3500 with Rust Check never had had a spot of rust on it. Had it for 13 or 14 years and it always looked great, I dont know of any other companies, but I would reccomend Rust Check

I have read, mostly on the web, that it is supposed to be one of the better ones. I think just as important as the product is the person/place that applies it. They have to be throught. I also know that you have to take it back every year to get it reapplied. I think that it will make for a better resale value too.
I would ask around your city, see who did what where and the results. Go to a place that does rust check and watch them apply it. Are they getting it in all the tight hard to reach places. With leasing and such most people don't even keep cars long enough to see the difference between rust protection on a car and one that doesn't have it.
I too was considering getting rust check on my car. I have opted to just trying to keep it as clean as possible. Mostly because I can't afford anything else right now. In addition, I am planing on giving my RA a throught cleaning, especially underneath and in the wheel wells, every spring.

Thanks guys, I got rust check already. I just wanted to ask you guys.
The rust check guys do this....
1. spray the rust check on once a year.
2. Apply paint protection every 3 years (thats all it needs)
3. and they do an underbody clean 3 times a year to get all the crap out of the bottom of the car like dirt, grime and salts and stuff.... and it does not take the rust check off.
I thought I would let you guys know what they do. They sounded the best to me, so I went with them.

Paint protection is about $200 every 3 years
Underbody wash is about $130 per year for 3 washes.
Those are not exact prices............The rust check might actually be about $200.
Those are the three things I do at rust check. You can also get fabric protection and interior crap done, but if you keep it clean, whats the point?

Go to their website rustcheck.ca They list all their services. You only need the three that I mentioned in the post above. The rest are your choice.

my dealership did rust/paint protection, from syntech or something like that.... it was about $1000 for lifetime underbody rust protection, and i think 700 for paint fading protection. and yeah i have to come in every now and then and get it inspected/reapplied.
