Rust / under body protection spray for the winter

Post by Pulcino »

Hello,
 
I'm not planning to use the H1 much during the winter considering the amount of salt that Ontario puts out...but anyway considering to do an under body rust protection. Being new to Canada I've learnt there are many companies and compounds available and wonder what your experiences are and if you have any companies to suggest in GTA? 
 
Looking forward to some great advice and thoughts since I assume many of you have experience on this topic...amazing the amounts of salt they pour out...! The salt producers and the government must be related...!  ???

This sounds great...eh!

In Europe we pretty much has salt band due to environment impact and for the cars... I moved here in Feb and was surprised to see the streets being blue! (...by salt...)


Anyway, out of three different companies doing the corrosion spray which one do you suggest or any special type/chemical? I.e. What's the best??

Have a nice Sunday!

I use Pro Oil Change (Bradford). I don't know what they use - some treated oil underspray product. Seems to work fine. Go twice a year at $100 / spray. They do the oil changes in my other vehicles (not the Hummer though - only Phil) and do a good job.
 
Another good company is Pro Fleet (Barrie). They come to your location and apply the underspray. I use them for the trailers.
 
Both are franchise outfits so the level of service may vary depending on your location.

Just as an extra note. The DoD and most provincial agency's use krown. They did a study on various treatments and found it to be most effective. Ymmv of course

Used transmission fluid is what i have been using for years on all under body stuff.
Heck of a lot cheaper and less messy than the sticky stuff shops use.
