Casa Rust Proofing

[CLAVEL3699]

my new car will release by this week.

Casa is offering me rust proofing for 4k may discount.

do i really need that?

pls. advise. thanks

[likot]

ang mahal sa casa tapos gagawin pusit pusit lang mas mabuti pa sa labas or sa gas station mababantayan mo pa half the price ng casa

[CLAVEL3699]

sa ilalim lang ba nang car yun ginagawa?

[stelvio]

Di na kailangan niyan, the manufacturer has already spent millions of dollars doing research on preventing corrosion in their cars. Pure marketing gimmickry lang ang aftermarket rustproofing. I still have my non rustproofed 96 model civic with 180,000kms and wala naman kalawang. i think mas nakakasama pa nga yata ng mga ziebart na yan kasi malagkit so ung putik kumakapit, whereas with factory rustproofing its just like painted finish, so dirt washes off easily with soap and water.

hehehehehe...sorry natawa ako dito....

Clavel - yeah, sa ilalim lang nilalagayan ng rustproofing and mas maganda pagawa mo sa nag i specialize ng rust proofing - mas mura at mas ok gawa

[chris_d]

In my opinion hinde na yan kelangan, by the time rust develops on your car you've probably already sold it and have a new car.

[tebs]

to each his own.

i just got my samurai rustproofed (underbody) with shell rustgard for 2500.

i know that manufacturers have already put in corrosion-resistant coating to the vehicles, but i believe an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. lalu na kung nasa malapit ka ng dagat, very salty air, madali mangalawang ang bakal.

just make sure malinis (underbody wash and dried) yung ilalim before application of the coating. so that no dirt or moisture is trapped.

[theveed]

you guys are mistaking undercoating with rustproofing.

undercoating is spraying tar-based rubberized coat underneath the carriage

rust proofing is spraying cavity wax on the INNER PANELS of the body.

Nope, You dont need it. Sa accessories mo na lang gastusin ang 4K mo.

Tama si sir theveed. Magkaiba yun ... pero some shops would actually offer both as a package para daw mura :-)

CLAVEL3699, since bago pa naman ... can you still negotiate that as a freebe pa? :-)

[CLAVEL3699]

ayaw eh. hindi daw freebie.

nagpalagay na din ako.

kasi may 5yr warranty. naman sya eh. Tama si tebs nag iingat lang ako hard earn money kasi yun.

[CLAVEL3699]

hehehehehe...sorry natawa ako dito....

natawa ka mali ka din pala.

mas nakakatawa ka ngayon.

Nagtatanong nang maayos yung tao.

[jang]

Everytime pumunta ako ng honda for the 1k checkup parati akong inaalok ng rustproofing.

[zechs]

hi clavel, kami we didnt avail yung rustproofing. hehe how much bigay sa iyo ng casa? somebody from HCP forums told me its better to have it done outside the casa cause mas malinis silang gumawa. you can opt for the same company naman, SAVI di ba?

yung undercoat lang ang kinuha namin, kasi free. hehe

[CLAVEL3699]

gishhh!

Napaoo kasi ako kaagad, na leche na bwisit.

dbale may additional warranty naman sya.

potek!!!

[reuelc]

saan po ba magandaa magpa-undercoating and rustproofing na mura lang?

[stormrider]

Actually, its better to have it done outside than via dealer. Mas makakatipid ka. I learned this the hard way when I realized the dealer just does the underbody thing (not really sure kung rustproof yun) care of TufKote (SAVI), instead of full (pati inside panels, etc.).

Out of curiosity, I went to TufKote (SAVI) to check out their menu of services and found out I could've saved some money if I went directly to them (instead of car dealer). And they offer many levels of treatment.

As for the warranty, pareho lang may warranty.
The warranty is conditional to annual reapplication. Without the reapplication, the warranty's as good as worthless. Either way (dealer or direct).

And yes, I do believe certain car makers have improved their rust protection capabilities such that one doesn't really need to have it done outside after purchasing the car.

But if only for peace of mind, it might be good to apply it immediately upon purchase. And not just underbody portion. If only for peace of mind.

Just my two cents.

kung undercoating, better bili ka sa auto supply, diff brands ito (i prefer 3m rubberized or shell), then dalin mo sa gas station of your choice, dun mo pa underbody wash at pa-apply. it's much cheaper kung package ng gas stations but less hassle. re. rustproofing (inner cavities like doors, fenders etc.) tuff coat dynol ako IMHO.
