Comprehensive Rust Proofing Services

Keep your vehicle safe from Canadian road salt, moisture, and corrosion with UniglassPlus/Ziebart’s complete rust proofing solutions.


Why Rust Proofing Matters in Canada

A customer once brought in her SUV after noticing bubbling paint behind her rear wheel well. She’d washed it regularly and stored it in a heated garage all winter. But the mix of trapped moisture, slush, and salt had quietly started rusting the metal she couldn’t see.

Rust starts small and spreads fast. It weakens your car’s structure, damages components, and ruins resale value. That’s why we offer a full suite of rust proofing treatments:

  • Ziebart® Permanent Rust Proofing: A thick, deep-sealing treatment with a 10-year warranty, requiring minimal touch-up and re-spray annually.
  • Penetr-Oil® Annual Rust Proofing: A yearly service using creeping, dripless oil to protect hidden seams.
  • Rust Protection Undercoating: A thick underbody shield that also dampens noise.

Our Rust Proofing Services Explained

Permanent Rust Proofing

  • What it does: Applies professional-grade sealant to underbody, inner body panels, seams, and structural metal.
  • Why get it: A long-term barrier that blocks rust agents for a decade.
  • Warranty: 10-year transferable coverage: ideal for used cars, leases, or resale.

Penetr-Oil® Annual Rust Proofing

  • What it does: Penetrating oil creeps into cavities, repelling water and moisture. Inhibits existing rust to slow it down.
  • Why get it: Helps prevent rust from returning or spreading between deep treatments.
  • Service cycle: Annual application before winter for maximum protection.

Rust Protection Undercoating

  • What it does: Straightforward underbody coating to shield your vehicle’s frame.
  • Why get it: Protects against road salt, gravel, and noise while adding durability.
  • Ideal for: Trucks, or drivers in rural or salted-road areas.

How Our Process Works

  1. Initial Inspection
    We evaluate your vehicle and recommend the right combination of treatments.
  2. Cleaning and Prepping
    A high-pressure wash removes salt, mud, and grime for maximum adhesion.
  3. Precise Application
    Depending on your choice:
    • Permanent: Deep sealant on underside, into seams and cavities
    • Penetr-Oil®: Creeping, dripless oil distributed via precision tools
    • Undercoating: Protective layer on chassis and underbody
  4. Final Inspection
    We verify full coverage, and ensure no residue on paint or windows.
  5. Aftercare Advice
    Simple steps to keep the protection lasting: regular washes, salt avoidance, and in-store touch-ups/full re-applications (depending on product) annually.

Application Craft Inconsistent Certified technicians with precise tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need all three treatments?
Not always. A combination of two might work best: Permanent for structure, plus Penetr-Oil® or Undercoating for surface protection.

How long does each treatment take?
Permanent: about 4 hours
Penetr-Oil® or Undercoating: 1–2 hours each
To ensure proper preparation of the underside, leaving the vehicle for the day is recommended, especially in wet weather.

Is it messy or odorous?
No. We work indoors, clean up thoroughly, and use low-odour treatment agents.

Will it void any warranty?
We use manufacturer-approved materials and methods. They enhance, not hinder, your vehicle’s health and resale value. Consult with your vehicle manufacturer to ensure warranty guidelines.

How often should I reapply?
Permanent: Strong initial application with annual inspection to maintain warranty.
Penetr-Oil® and Undercoating: recommended annually before winter.

Do these services affect EVs?
Electrical components are covered during application.
