rustproofing

[ottawaP5]

Hi Guys,

Have any of you rustproofed your P5's?

They drill holes into the doors and fenders (inside the door frame) and spray high pressure oil.

I've been doing it on my 1988 sprint and it has very little rust, I will surly get it done on the P5.

Rustproofing

I've had mine done last August by Antirouille Metropolitain. It is a MESS for the first 2 weeks (leaks and smell), but since I usually keep my cars 6 years and more it is worth to do every year.

My 2cents

a good company that rustproofs should NOT drill holes...there are enough open areas under the car to spray the car..be careful!!!

waste of money period

Maybe for us in So. Cal but I also use to live where it snowed and it does prevent long term rust on vehicles.

I'm grateful I don't have to waste my funds on that anymore.

I think it is a good idea if you only have one car and you live in an area where it snow a lot. Other than that, you don't have a whole lot to worry about.

I had it done by the dealer when purchased. Had to bargain it into the price of the car. if you live somewhere you may need it, try to get the dealer to through it in for free. I ended up with alot of neat stuff since i bought my car in november (a set of snow tires with rims, rust proofing and extra floor mats)

hey

good idea, but definately dont drill holes. that leaves exposed metal (yes even though it would bt coated in fish oil etc) which is the worst thing you can do. you'd be best to just take off the inside of the doors and putting the hose spray thingie through the plastic.

dont forget a well kept car even without rust proofing will resist rust. my previous car was a 1978 holden ute (i live in australia - it's a aussie only car) and i REALLY looked after it. no rust. no rust proofing. i live by the sea. that's proof enough for me that looking after a car is worth it
