Mga bossing,

Tanong lang po. Although I saw a similar thread here in this forum (way back 2006), I just want to re-verify what the current active tsikot members thing about aftermarket rust-proofing.

Here's my dilemma. I am planning to go to Ziebart, or tuff kote branch, for a full-body rust-proofing. Sorry, my mind's still in the 80s-90s e, and we always rust-proof our cars, hehehe.

Then an old friend, who was driving since the age of 16 (so mga 30 years+ ago na yun) told me na he bought his CRV to Ziebart and he found out that the rust-proofing methodology is flawed. They drill holes in the body and its in these holes where rust begins to form (some years later after the rust-proofing). He also mentioned that today's cars are more resilient to rust due to advances in material sciences (iron?) and paint chemicals.

Now I have a dozen younger friends (in their early 30s, some in their mid 20s) who adviced me to proceed with rust-proofing.

At the back of my mind, my 'older' friend's argument seems the most logical. What does everyone here think po? to rust-proof or not to rust-proof, that is the question.

P.S. Undercoated na yung kotse (yung free sa casa for brand new cars). If you need to know, the car is a 10th Gen 1.6G Altis (A/T).

Thanks po for your advice.
