Rust is the number-one enemy of any vehicle, especially if you live on the coast or in a hot and humid climate. The salt in the air combined with humidity and the scouring effect of the desert sand can take its toll on your Lexus, leaving it vulnerable to the damaging effects of rust. This corrosion can shorten your vehicle’s lifespan, decrease its resale value, and potentially become a safety hazard if left for too long.

Rustproofing can minimise the environmental effects that can cause rusting by spraying a thick wax coating onto surfaces, that provides long-lasting protection.

When should you rustproof your car?

Rustproofing and undercoating (sealing the undercarriage of the car closest to the road surface) are carried out either after the first 1,000km or in the first month of use. Warranties for rustproofing last for a year. The process should be repeated regularly to maintain a high level of protection.

What’s the difference between rustproofing and undercoating?

• Rustproofing sprays a layer of very thick wax onto surfaces or into spaces to prevent corrosion
• Undercoating is a layer of protection that resembles tar or stone chip paint that is sprayed onto the undercarriage including the wheel wells, frame, and floorboards. This process only protects the chassis of the vehicle.

What are the benefits of rustproofing?

• It lengthens the lifespan of your vehicle
• It can help to prevent breakdowns due to corrosion and expensive repairs
• It protects the resale value of your car by preventing rust damage
• It comes with a rustproofing warranty for total peace of mind
