Frequently Asked Questions
Rustproofing
1. Can I still use an underbody carwash after having Corrosion FREE applied?
Yes, in fact you can go through an underbody wash the same day after leaving our shop.
​
2. Do I need to wash my car before applying Corrosion FREE?
Although it is usually not needed unless your vehicle has been in the mud, we do recommend an underbody wash within a couple of days of your appointment.
​3. How long does the application take?
It takes on average around 90 minutes. You can either drop your vehicle off or wait while we do it.
​
4. What sets Corrosion FREE apart from other products?
It is a clear, non-toxic product that will not drip and create a mess on your garage floor. Corrosion FREE offers the best warranty in the industry. If reapplied every 18 months, the warranty does not expire. The warranty covers your car from the window line, down.

Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings
1. Will a ceramic coating stop scratches?
No. It can make the paint more resistant to scratches but it will not prevent them.
​
2. Why do I need a ceramic coating?
Think of a ceramic coating like a permanent wax. It protects the paint from UV rays, salt, and bugs and bird droppings from etching into the surface. Maintenance is easier as dirt and contaminants do not stick as easy to the surface. Opti-Coat coatings are permanent, meaning they cannot be chemically removed. The only way to remove them is by sanding or buffing the paint and physically removing a layer of clear coat.
​
3. How long does it take?
We keep your vehicle for 2 days. The preparation, application, and cure time is a lengthy process.
​
4. Does an Opti-Coat ceramic coating need any maintenance?
No, it will stay on your paint without any toppers. Over time, contaminants can still collect on top of the coating, so it is recommended to do an annual decontamination to retain the hydrophobic properties.
