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.

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

Final Inspection
We verify full coverage, and ensure no residue on paint or windows.

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.
