Rust Stopper by MotorOne

G'day Nick

I don't know the product, but if you're talking about it being added to a new car order, be aware you'll pay through the nose for a job you could get done after delivery for perhaps 1/2 the cost. Those add-on packages may be good products, but they're far from good value.

I would be asking if Toyota's have a problem with rusting...... had a girl at a dealership try and sell us paint protection and how it will make your paint last longer, when I asked her what was wrong with Ford paint and is there something I don't know..... she was lost for words....

However our new ranger has paint and fabric protection...... in the end it cost us $150 with a free polish every 12 months and a 5 year warranty, originally they wanted just under $500.

Our 200 series gets polished every 6 months with a good quality polish and wax.

Look at all the vehicles that are over 15 years old with OK paint.... paint these days are miles ahead of the paints of yesteryear.

I would say no unless it was cheap.

G'day Nick,
My opinion is all those chemical & electronic rust stoppers are a total waste of money.

Had many 4WD vehicles & clocked up plenty of Km's from beaches, outback to the mountains. Never had any problems with rust even on extended trips. Just hose off the chassis & underbody & keep the paint polished. I also use wash & wax for washing the paintwork.
Just another way of the dealers getting a kickback for selling as many add ons as they can.

Cheers
Stu

What is he meaning "if an extension is added for larger vehicles??? IF it stops rust, of course it would work on a 4wd. the rust can't recognize the difference between a 2 wheel drive and a 4 wheel drive unless it is ROOLY smart stuff.

Maybe the service manager drinks he stuff.

Recently a forum member reported having worked in delayerships and how a substantial amount of income was derived from selling such items at purchase time.

Is the service managers name CON by any chance?
