Rust Proofing — Three Levels of Protection | Auto Solve

Q: Can you rustproof a vehicle that already has rust?

Yes. Our Basic (Corrosion Free) and Mid (Woolwax) products work well on vehicles with existing surface rust. They seal out moisture and oxygen, slowing or halting further corrosion. The Premium Waxoyl service is best suited for new or near-new vehicles.

Ontario Roads

Your Vehicle Will Rust. That's Not a Question.

Liquid brine, calcium chloride, and rock salt. Ontario roads are brutal on vehicles — and the damage happens from the inside out, in places you never see.

Most rust-proofing shops spray generic oil underneath and call it done. We don't. We offer three tiers of protection using premium products — Corrosion Free, Woolwax, and Waxoyl — each applied with the thoroughness this kind of work actually requires.

Whether you're protecting a daily driver or a brand new truck, there's a level that fits your vehicle and your budget.

The question isn't if. It's what you do about it.

Decision Guide

Which One Is Right for You?

Basic is for you if…

You want solid protection without the fuss. You drive a daily commuter, want something better than the typical oil spray, and don't mind reapplying yearly. Quick, clean, no drip.

Mid is for you if…

You want the most thorough job available. You drive on gravel roads, tow, go off-road, or just want every hidden spot properly coated. We take the panels off and do it right.

Premium is for you if…

You just bought a new vehicle and want to keep it that way. One application. Lifetime protection. Annual inspections and touch-ups as needed. The lowest cost per year over the life of the vehicle.

The Difference

Better Products. More Thorough Application.

Most shops spray a generic oil underneath your vehicle in 20 minutes and send you on your way. It drips on your driveway for a week. And it washes off by spring.

We use products that actually bond to the metal. Our Mid and Premium services include removing fender liners, shields, and panels so we can coat the areas drive-through shops can't even see — the spots where rust actually starts.

It's the same approach we take with every service at Auto Solve. Do the job properly or don't do it at all. Whether that's brake work, exhaust fabrication, or rust protection — the standard doesn't change.

This is what thorough looks like.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Can you rustproof a vehicle that already has rust?

Yes. Our Basic and Mid products work well on vehicles with existing surface rust. They seal out moisture and oxygen, slowing or halting further corrosion. The Premium Waxoyl service is best suited for new or near-new vehicles.

What's different about your service vs. quick-spray shops?

Two things: better products and more thorough application. Even our Basic tier uses Corrosion Free, which bonds to metal and outperforms generic oil sprays. Our Mid and Premium services include panel and liner removal so we can coat the areas drive-through shops can't reach.

My dealer already applied rustproofing. Do I still need this?

Most dealer rustproofing is a one-time wax or tar undercoating that dries out, cracks, and can actually trap moisture against the metal — making rust worse. Our products stay active and flexible. We're happy to take a look underneath and let you know what condition it's in.

Will it drip on my driveway?

No. All three of our products are formulated to stay in place. Unlike the oil sprays from other shops that drip for days, none of our products will drip after application.

When is the best time to get it done?

Anytime works, but fall before the salt hits the roads is ideal. We get busy from September through December, so booking ahead is recommended.

How long does the appointment take?

Basic: about 45 minutes to an hour. Mid: 2–3 hours. Premium: 3–5 hours depending on the vehicle. We'll give you a more accurate estimate when you book. If your vehicle needs to stay, complimentary loaner vehicles are available.
