well welcome back to the Steve Robshaw today we're going to talk about rustproofing and how
I think you're getting hosed big-time but I'm in the Rust Belt I'm in Ontario and they just pour
the salt on the roads like you wouldn't believe now I'm going to get into why I believe you do not
need to have your vehicle rust proof every year with the products that they're using I'm a firm
believer in rust proofing your vehicle but not further reasons that they're trying to hose you
with today first of all they're saying this stuff creeps and all that stuff the spring creeps well
I think that's just a load of crap I don't know what this stuff about creeping but I use a couple
of products myself and I'm gonna show you on my vehicle is what they look like I've got a 2002
Silverado 2500 HD and guys I've never waxed this thing I don't wash it uh you know and same as my
2010 f150 what I do the vehicle is I undercoat it myself now I realize not everybody can undercoat
their vehicles themselves but I don't believe like there's no reason to go around drilling holes all
over the place in these vehicles let's go back to the early 70s when I worked on the assembly
line at General Motors there was not a piece of body material that was used that was galvanized
it was all just plain steel and we dipped it in a phosphate solution and then I was called an elbow
fry and we painted it and guys if you remember back in the 70s I imagine most you don't but
the vehicles were rusting out like within two or three years tops the motion ever got back then
was a one-year warranty 12,000 miles today it's a whole different ballgame when I retired in 2007
from General Motors every part on the vehicle was galvanized now on the pickup trucks I would
say they never switched over to the roofs being galvanized until later on in the seven and 2002
or 2003 maybe on some models but today almost all the vehicles are all galvanized from the
factory or like f-150 is all aluminum so what do you spraying on nothing so but there is some good
products out there and it will help you know deter the rust but this idea of them saying oh
well you got a seventy thousand dollar vehicle and in ten years time it's not worth nothing
because it's it's rusted underneath well it's not worth nothing underneath rusted and it's not
worth anything if it's brand-new underneath in ten years you don't get Hurley anything for a ten year
old vehicle but do I think you should rest proof your vehicle yeah and if you want to go and pay up
to two hundred dollars a year to have somebody else spray it well then knock yourself out and
do that I don't do that I have had it sprayed in the past by crown and rust Chuck and guys
it works but to me it just washes off after the next season anyways it does help but I don't do
that and I'll show you what I do and the reason why now these are the products that I use now I
use this product right here called rust Chuck I don't think you can even get that in America I'm
not too sure but it's a good product and this is another one that I use all the time and I've just
got onto this but maybe the last five six years is this one right here and you know it's a chain
lube but guys I tell you what when you spray it it's like spraying this anti-seize compound it's
just terrific stuff and both of them are cheap they were both around six bucks a can I'm going
to make a little bit of a demonstration here and show you what they look like when they're sprayed
but I'm going to take you out to my vehicles first and I'm going to show you what my vehicles
look like 2010 f-150 and a 2002 Silverado okay so there's the f-150 and the body's not falling off
it or anything and let's just take a look inside here and I'll tell you guys what I do is I'll see
if I can get my light on here hopefully it's not too bright but what I do is I just use down here
you can see see where I've sprayed that in there and that's that rush check coat and protect guys
I sprayed this the first week I had the truck and that's been on there ever since I have not
touched it up I haven't done anything and here's the truck here and the only thing I do like I've
said in other videos as I do do the the underside here with that rocker guard I do all the bottom
there and guys this truck here is over seven years old and it's not all rusting out and I'll
show you underneath ok guys so here we are here I just went underneath there with that rust coat
and protect and or you could use the the chain loop as well and guys I did this to all my brake
lines and fuel lines and you know what that's all you really have to do so let's go over and
take a look at the Silverado ok so here we are 2002 Silverado the only thing I've ever done to
this guy's is I repaired the cab corners down the bottom there and left on the right and that's it
like this thing is just the way you're going to see it and I have replaced one section of a fuel
line I'll put a link down below if you want to see that vid where I couldn't get in there and
spray and it did Rost out but I'll show you the rest of the truck here and guys like I say I just
you can see on the bottom there I use that rocker guard but let's go underneath the truck and take
a look 2002 guys ok guys here's the underbody here and yeah it does show some rust here and there and
like you say that on there that's from way back maybe five years ago I had it sprayed five six
years ago ahead and sprayed a truss check and it does help but and of course I don't put my spare
tire underneath here you'll never get the thing out but yeah the body's not all rotten off and
let's move over to the to the brake lines here guys these are all original on my truck like I
said except one spot of a fuel line I've never done a brake line on this yet one spot of a fuel
line where I had to repair it patch it in and guys this is all original and I'll take you up
front and I'll show you and here's the underbody here you know it does great you know so I'll take
you under the front of the truck and always in the front of these Silverados you'll have that front
brake line rod out I'll show you mine never been touched okay there you are guys you see that's
all gooped up there you go and usually this is the one that goes on it so but I've done all the
brake lines and everything I'm going to show you as well underneath where my ABS boxes where all
the brake lines going - okay that's a real hard shot to get here but I'm underneath the truck
here and you could see where I really goo bird it up by spraying on that that cool protect and like
you say guys that or the here's the fuel filter guys that's the original line blowing on the fuel
filter I've never had a problem and when I finish with it I just spray it again and like you say the
truck isn't falling apart it's a 2002 and let's go in the shop and wrap this up okay behind me
here you can see I just got a hunk of plate steel I've taken out from the side of my shop there and
I'll zoom you in and I'll show you each of these products how they spray on just bare metal just
so youse guys can have an idea of what they look like okay we'll go with the liquid wrench chain
and lube first you just got to shake it up a bit and there's that one there now you could see how
that just sits there guys it is just phenomenal it is a great product and it will rust proof you're
breaking fuel lines like you would not believe and the next one is the rush check guys this
there's two products one's called coltan protect and the other one is their regular product and it
just looks like red transmission fluid to me but of course you've got to spray it up shake it up
and here's the product here and that's it right there and guys that will kind of unbel over time
and as you can see in my Ford it did not attract dirt or anything it's been sitting there for a
long time you can see it kind of slowly you know congealing and it does not run it'll stay there
for years both of them products are like that I prefer in any area where you're going to be
around clothing or anything guys you you can't spray that chain lube around because it will
just be nasty everywhere but on the underbody it's terrific okay a little bit of a long video there
but I just wanted to show you that you do not have to to spray your whole vehicle and drill holes and
do all this kind of stuff because the vehicles today juice guys see the vehicles all falling
apart and rotten apart I don't see it and guys nobody sponsored me you know what to say anything
about this product you know or or this product or any of that kind of stuff I'm tell you what I do
and it works I have had the vehicle sprayed each one of them once and the Silverado no it was twice
on the Silverado and I'm not going to pay them any more up to 200 bucks just to go underneath
there and in the springtime for me I see it's all gone I I don't see much of a benefit to it
because I'm in a lot of rust in my area when it comes to the application of salt on the roads but
you know what I think if you can do it yourself is do it yourself go underneath there and just
spray your brake and your fuel lines and like you say my right fuel filter area guys that's the only
thing you really have to do these vehicles are pretty good I see them going underneath the hood
spraying like crazy all over the place I tell you what in a lot of spots it's nasty trying to work
on a vehicle one they're all greased up like that and I know I'd love to hear in the comments how
many technicians would prefer a vehicle all gooped up you know with this stuff all over the underbody
or whether you'd like to have it just clean and a little bit rusty because you know what guys this
idea of saying in ten years time your vehicle is going to be worth so much more because you don't
have a rusty brake line or a fuel line or this kind of stuff guys I think that's a load of crap
I don't think your vehicle is worth much more in ten years time no matter what it looks like you
know I just don't see that and today most people are not keeping their vehicles out long I mean
vehicles are being traded in and after five years maybe at the most so for those that are going to
keep a vehicle for fifteen or twenty years like like this 2002 Silverado runs like a charm hey
why not if you can afford to pay two hundred dollars a year to have it sprayed for somebody
else fine for me I'm just going to it myself so thanks for joining in if you haven't seen this
