Is it easy to rust proof a car yourself?

Rust proofing your car is easy

Rust proofing your car is easy with the right products.

Rust Encapsulator seals the surface with minute glass flakes. Very little prep is required to apply Rust Encapsulator. Just knock off the loose rust, make sure the surface is grease and oil free and brush or spray apply 2 medium coats. Rust Encapsulator works great over or under plastic body fillers.

Self Etching Primer should be applied to rust-free, clean, dry metal. Self Etching Primer sticks well to steel, stainless steel, aluminum, even scuffed galvanized surfaces.

Use an Undercoating System to apply either Heavy Duty Anti-Rust or Rubberized Undercoating. Heavy-Duty Anti-rust is sometimes used in wheel wells as a primer under Rubberized Undercoating. Though this procedure does not appear to enhance adhesion, it does add an extra barrier of protection that will help prevent rust should the undercoating be damaged. Heavy-Duty Antirust works great in doors and rocker panels or inside frame members. Prep is very limited. Just make sure the surface is dry. Use a heat gun or heat lamp to gently heat seams and closed areas where moisture may become trapped and apply. Rubberized Undercoating is best used only inside wheel well areas. This product is not recommended for use inside rocker panels or doors, because while this product is unlikely to peel away from the surface like inferior undercoats, Heavy-Duty Anti-rust requires less surface prep.
