Rustproofing & Oil Spray Undercoating in Windsor-Essex
Annual oil spray rustproofing that gets into your frame, seams and panels to stop salt-water rust before it starts. No-drip, mess-free, and built for Windsor-Essex winters.
Before & After: Oil Spray Undercoating
Same truck, same lift, in our Tecumseh shop. Every frame rail, crossmember, axle, brake line and wheel well coated, here in our black oil.
Why Windsor Vehicles Need Rustproofing Every Year
Windsor-Essex winters hover right around freezing, so our roads stay wet with salty slush for months instead of freezing dry. That brine splashes into your frame, rocker panels, wheel wells and door bottoms, and it sits there eating steel where you can't see it.
Paint and hard rubber undercoating only protect the outside. Oil spray rustproofing follows the salt water into the seams, pinch welds and hollow panels, pushes the moisture off the metal, and seals out the air rust needs to grow.
- Protects frames, brake lines, fuel lines & suspension
- Slows rust you already have instead of hiding it
- Helps hold your vehicle's resale & trade-in value
- Car rustproofing, truck undercoating, SUVs, vans & EVs
- Safe on new vehicles and leases
- Lubricates bolts & fasteners so future repairs are easier
Premium Oil Rustproofing, Not Cheap Drip Oil
We spray Fluid Film, a lanolin (wool-wax) based rust inhibitor that stays soft instead of drying hard. That's what makes it work on Windsor's salty roads.
It Keeps Moving
After we spray, the oil keeps creeping into seams, spot welds and crevices a nozzle can't reach.
It Pushes Water Out
It displaces moisture already sitting on the metal and keeps new salt water from bonding to the steel.
It Never Cracks
Rubberized undercoating chips from road stones and traps brine behind it. Our oil stays flexible and self-heals scrapes.

Rustproofing & Undercoating FAQs
How much does rustproofing cost in Windsor?
Rustproofing is priced by vehicle size, since bigger vehicles take more oil and more time on the lift. Call 226-280-1446 for a quick quote on your vehicle.
What's the difference between rustproofing and undercoating?
Undercoating usually means a hard rubberized coating sprayed on the underside only. Rustproofing with oil spray goes further: the oil creeps into seams, frame rails and inside panels, and stays soft so it never cracks and traps salt water. Our oil spray undercoating gives you both, full underbody coverage plus seam-penetrating rust protection.
Is rustproofing worth it?
In Windsor-Essex, yes. Our winters sit near freezing, so roads stay wet with salt brine for months. Annual oil spray rustproofing protects frames, brake lines, fuel lines and body seams, and helps hold resale and trade-in value.
How often should I get my vehicle rustproofed?
Once a year, ideally in the fall before the salt trucks come out. If your vehicle already has rust started, a second oil spray in the spring helps slow it down.
Will the oil spray drip on my driveway?
No. We use a no-drip oil, so you can park in your garage or driveway the same night.
Can you rustproof a new car or truck?
Yes. The best time to rustproof is when the vehicle is new, before any rust starts. Oil spray is safe on new vehicles, leases and EVs.
Do you rustproof electric vehicles?
Yes. We oil spray EVs and hybrids, working carefully around the battery pack and high-voltage components. Call 226-280-1446 for a quote.
Is it too late to rustproof once winter starts?
No. The oil displaces moisture already on the metal, so spraying mid-winter still protects your vehicle. Earlier is better, but any time before the salt is gone is worth it.
How long does an oil spray appointment take?
Most vehicles take 35 to 70 minutes on the lift, depending on size.
