Pros & Cons of Chemical Rustproofing

That doesn't prove anything. I spent 2 weeks on Fraser and had no rust proofing and I too have no signs of rust as yet. This argument just doesn't cut it unless you have an identical control vehicle that wasn't rust proofed that was there at the same time as you and has an identical life and is now rusting.

30 years ago, I had all my vehicles rust proofed. They oozed brown sticky muck everywhere for weeks (sometimes months) later and stunk to high heaven. One rust proofer convinced me to do the front floor so that salt water brought into the carpets by lots of beach work would not cause rust. I just about needed a gas mask for 6 months after that. I hated going anywhere in the car. In the hot weather, the stuff would soften and start stinking again. I got rid of the car eventually, long before it would have rusted. The stink influenced my decision.

My last 5 4WDs were not rust proofed, and apart from some surface rust from stone chipping, none developed rust. I firmly believe that with modern construction techniques and materials, it is no longer necessary.

I have had vehicles rust proofed before and yes the fisholene in a couple of them on the floors and inside the boot as always present. just didn't go away.

Some blokes swear by the fish oil plus techtol.

Can't always be sure I'll be able tob reach every nook and cranny with the hose so rust treatment may be for the best.

Now you're askin!!! From memory it cost around $45 and I think I used about half a container to do the Paj. Can check, still have the remainder in the shed.(reminds me, probably time for another dose....) Used the Staun Applicator and Massojet.

Cheers.........
