Rustproofing treatment for new and used vehicles

RUST ALERT!
Corrosion can begin well before the first signs of rust are visible. De-icing salt, moisture, snow, and Quebec’s road conditions significantly accelerate the corrosion process. EXPRESS AutoCare offers innovative, preventive rust-proofing solutions that represent the best-performing options currently on the market. Designed to provide effective, long-lasting protection for both new and used vehicles.

Our treatments are selected to suit the specific conditions and needs of each vehicle, with special attention paid to the areas most vulnerable to corrosion. Protect your vehicle before rust sets in. Preventive rust-proofing helps shield metal surfaces from moisture, road salt, and road contaminants, while helping to preserve the vehicle's overall condition.

ULTIMATE PROTECTION – New Vehicle (Paraffin & 3M™)

Protect your new vehicle before its first winter with our 360° Rustproofing Treatment – ​​Paraffin + 3M™ Protection. Designed for Quebec road conditions, this treatment helps protect exposed metal surfaces against moisture, road salt, snow, and road contaminants. Your new vehicle deserves protection from the very first kilometer.

WHY TREAT A NEW VEHICLE?

• Prevent premature corrosion.
• Protect the underbody and vulnerable areas.
• Reduce exposure to salt and moisture.
• Preserve the vehicle's condition over the long term.
• Benefit from protection right from the start.

OUR ULTIMATE PROTECTION PACKAGE:

• Vehicle inspection:
  A comprehensive vehicle inspection to assess chassis and surfaces condition to be treated. Our technicians specifically check for corrosion, damage, contaminants, previous repairs, or other conditions that could affect coating preparation and application.
• Under-chassis disassembly:
  Removal of wheels, mudguards, wheel well liners, and underbody protective panels (when necessary) to clear the areas to be treated and allow full access to the surfaces. This step ensures proper preparation and uniform coating application across all accessible areas.
• Washing, decontamination, and surface preparation:
  Thorough washing, cleaning, and decontamination of the vehicle's undercarriage to remove dirt, salt, mud, oils, and other contaminants, followed by meticulous surfaces preparation to remove residue or traces of corrosion; surfaces must be properly clean and dry to ensure optimal adhesion.
• Masking and protection:
  Careful masking of components, surfaces, and areas not intended for the 3M™ rubberized coating, in order to protect vehicle elements during application. Openings, fasteners, mechanical and electrical components, and other sensitive areas are adequately protected to ensure precise, clean, and uniform application.
• Paraffin application to appropriate surfaces and areas:
  Uniform application of paraffin protection to appropriate metal areas, including hard-to-reach spots where the product and vehicle allow.
• Application of 3M™ rubberized coating to appropriate areas:
  Applying the coating to compatible surfaces requiring extra protection against water spray, salt, and minor road impacts.
• Drying and inspection:
  Allowing for the recommended drying time, followed by a check of coverage and application uniformity.
• Final check:
  Complete inspection of the treatment before returning the vehicle to the customer.

APPROXIMATE APPLICATION TIME:
The approximate application time to protect an average vehicle can be around 48 hours or more. For commercial and recreational vehicles, machinery, and agricultural equipment, the application time varies.

SERVICE TIP:
The best time to protect a new vehicle is before it is repeatedly exposed to salt and winter conditions. Preventive protection ensures the vehicle starts its life with an anti-corrosion barrier suited to Quebec’s climate.

Paraffin-based rustproofing – Preventive treatment

Paraffin-based rustproofing (choice of clear/amber or black). A high-quality, liquid rustproofing coating that provides long-lasting protection; it is odorless, virtually colorless, highly fluid yet drip-free, and spreads across all metal surfaces. It repels moisture and penetrates crevices to deposit a thin anti-corrosion barrier.

APPLICATIONS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT:

• Passenger vehicles (sedans, minivans, SUVs).
• Commercial vehicles (heavy trucks, vans, minibuses, school buses).
• Recreational vehicles (motorhomes [Class A, B, C], travel trailers, tent trailers, towable trailers).
• Modified or vintage (restored) vehicles.
• Agricultural machinery and equipment.

OUR PARAFFIN PROTECTION PACKAGE:

• Vehicle inspection:
  Checking surfaces to be protected and identifying appropriate areas.
• Surface preparation and cleaning:
  Removal of dirt, salt, mud, and contaminants. Surfaces must be clean and dry.
• Paraffin application to appropriate surfaces and areas:
  Uniform application of the paraffin protection to relevant metal areas, including hard-to-reach spots where the product and vehicle allow.
• Drying and inspection:
  Adherence to the recommended drying time, followed by a check of coverage and application uniformity.
• Final check:
  Comprehensive inspection of the treatment before returning the vehicle to the customer.

APPROXIMATE APPLICATION TIME:
The approximate time to protect an average vehicle is about 45 minutes to one hour. Application time varies for commercial and recreational vehicles, as well as for agricultural machinery and equipment.

SERVICE TIP:
Experts recommend a paraffin-based rust-proofing treatment every 12 months—in the spring or autumn—to protect your car or pickup truck's body and chassis against costly rust and corrosion repairs.

3M™ Rubberized Coating – Durable corrosion protection

For permanent, long-lasting protection, 3M™ offers a rubberized coating that resists stone chips. The product is flexible, fast-drying, and paintable, while offering resistance to weather, stone chips, and corrosion. 3M™ Rubberized Coating provides rust protection and sound-dampening properties.

OUR 3M™ PROTECTION FORMULA:

• Vehicle inspection:
  A comprehensive vehicle inspection to assess chassis and surfaces condition to be treated. Our technicians specifically check for corrosion, damage, contaminants, previous repairs, or other conditions that could affect coating preparation and application.
• Under-chassis disassembly:
  Removal of wheels, mudguards, wheel well liners, and underbody protective panels (when necessary) to clear the areas to be treated and allow full access to the surfaces. This step ensures proper preparation and uniform coating application across all accessible areas.

APPROXIMATE APPLICATION TIME:
Example: Applying a truck bed liner can generally take two days—including preparation, application, and drying time—depending on the type and dimensions of the bed, its condition, the required preparation, and the product used. For pickup trucks, commercial vehicles, trailers, and specialized applications, the time required may vary based on configuration and surface accessibility. The exact timeframe is confirmed during the pre-work vehicle assessment.

SERVICE TIP:
Surface preparation is essential for a durable finish. Any significant corrosion, perforation, or bed damage must be assessed and repaired before the liner is applied.
