Rustproofing your car
Road salt and moisture eat away at a car's underbody and sills, and rust is a common reason for failing the vehicle inspection. Rustproofing extends the car's life when it is done correctly and at the right time.
You will need
- A pressure washer or a car wash with underbody washing
- A torch
- A quote from a professional or, if doing it yourself, rustproofing products
- Safety goggles and gloves
