RUSTY CHECK UNIT 2-10 RUSSETT AVE,.,, Oshawa (1st Street South of Taunton Rd., West of Simcoe St. N.) Oxygen, moisture and steel combined are the only ingredients needed to start the rust corrosion process on your automobile. Other elements such as airborne pollutants in the form of acid rain, high humidity, salt used to melt ice or salt spray in the winter automatically speeds up the rust process. Automotive corrosion cannot be prevented, even with the technical advances auto manufacturers have made, but it can be controlled. RUST CHECK is different from any other type of rustproofing material that is on the market and is more fluid than some other materials and is applied under extremely high pressure. This forces RUST CHECK into all the weld seams and crevices that thicker materials miss. Thus, there is no place in a vehicle that RUST CHECK cannot reach. New cars & used vehicles that qualify can be warranted forever with an annual application. RUST CHECK which was originally tested at Hepworth, Ont., (near Owen Sound) in 1971 for 3 years before dealers started opening.
