Canadian Hummer Club Forums

I have always undercoated my cars and vans with dripless oil every Oct. Is this recommended/not recommended for Hummers? Also does anyone use any special wax on their vehicles? I have a black 2007 H3.

I recommend and advise the use of a semi dripless oil spray. It will drip for 3 days and then stop. Best due to the creeping the oil has instead of just splat and its on.The dripless spray seals the rusting parts with any moisture thus increasing the rust out. Now most new cars have a galvanizing already on them so the oil spray is not used.

Also , oil spraying has been banned from the states for a few years .I'm sure it will get across to us soon.

I have used Rust Check for many vehicles over the years and I would also recommend them. Krown has a similar reputation.



Outlets for both are most everywhere.

Wikipedia:

Petroleum based rust-inhibitors provide several benefits, including the ability to creep over metal, covering missed areas. Additionally, a petroleum, solvent-free rust inhibitor remains on the metal surface, sealing it from rust accelerating water and oxygen. Other benefits of petroleum based rust protection include the self-healing properties that come naturally to oils, which helps undercoatings to resist abrasion caused by road sand and other debris. The disadvantage of using a petroleum based coating is the film left over on surfaces, rendering these products too messy for exterior application and unsafe in areas where it can be slipped on. Companies that have successfully protected vehicles with a petroleum based rust inhibitor include Krown and Rust Check in Canada; a region known for serious rust problems.
