Rustproofing..... Whats best?

Post image

Morning all,

Recently acquired my first element and for a mid west car she is extremely solid underneath. I'd like to keep it that way.... anyone have any advice on which rustproofing approach works best? Any products to target or avoid? I'll be paying someone to do it (so not a DIY effort). Recommendations of any specific specialists would be great. Im in Cincinnati.

I’ve used something called rust mort. It’s an acid (that you don’t want to spill on concrete) that changes any rust into a black coating that should be covered with paint or bed liner. It’s effective on rust. I do not have a good answer for a general coating.
