Evidence that rust proofing works.

[Honda city]

When I bought my Corolla a few months ago I rust proofed it myself. I applied the rust proofing in all the places that the rust proof shops do. ( doors, fenders, rocker panels ) I can do this more often if I do it myself, and I can do one part at a time and not the whole car if I choose to do so. I suspect that the small rust proofing shops do not give you very much product anyways, because if they over sprayed the customers would complain about exessive dripping. The product that I use is Rustcheck, so it is the same stuff this franchise uses when you go in to have your car rustproofed at their shop. I am testing this product out on my car to see how effective it is. I applied some of the rust proofing on the wheel hubs so that I will not have rusty hubs in the spring. This is an extreme test for the product as it is exposed to dirt, road salt, and snow ice and slush. So far even in these extreme conditions the rust proofing is still protecting my wheel hubs from rust causing water and dampness. If it can work this well out in the open then I have no doubt that it protects from rust in less severe conditions.

I know its not really close to your brake components or anything but you'd want to make sure none of that is going onto the calipers or discs. For obvious reasons.

But it looks like its holding up just fine!

I don't doubt that Rust Check works as I had my car Rust Checked this past fall but, what is the picture you have posted suppose to indicate?
I happened to have washed my car tonight and there is no indication of rust on the wheel hubs either. I have winter rims and tires on presently and the Rust Check was applied well before putting them on.
Due to the covered center piece in the hub of the picture, i'm guessing that this picture is of one of the back wheels of the car right?
Is there any rust on the exposed threaded spindle or whatever it's called in the centre of either of the front wheels?

I applied Rustcheck to the wheel hub to inhibit rust, I see so many people driving around with rusty hubs. If the Rustcheck hold up so well on an exposed wheel hub where it is subjected to ice, snow, and slush. I have confidence that it will hold up well in the door panels and inside the fenders.

A new car isn't supposed to rust around those areas anyways. Not that soon.

If you really want to put it's effectiveness to the test, apply it annually before winter hits and report back in 10 years time and see how well it actually holds up.

Since roads in Toronto are salted so heavily every year, it's only a matter of time before each and every car that is exposed to that kind of environment starts to corrode away.

FYI, I'm using the same product.

I'm using bacon grease. It really works great!

How are the KY jelly substitution experiments working out?
