Is rustproofing your car worth it? Don't get scammed! If you're buying a new or used vehicle, you've probably been offered car rustproofing at the dealership. But does rustproofing your car actually work, or are you paying for something you don't need? In this video, I sit down with master technician Kirk Robinson of Robinson Automotive to separate fact from fiction. We explain how car rustproofing works, why some products outperform others, and the biggest mistakes drivers make when choosing rust protection.
You'll learn why electronic rustproofing remains controversial (and useless for vehicles), how wax-based and tar-based coatings can trap moisture, and why a high-quality corrosion protection product that stays pliable may be the better choice.
We also discuss rustproofing costs, maintenance intervals, dealership versus aftermarket rustproofing, warranty concerns, and whether electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and gasoline-powered vehicles should all be rustproofed.
Whether you're shopping for your next vehicle or simply want to protect the one you already own, this guide will help you make an informed decision before spending your money.
