Default Rust Proofing

Has anybody Rust Proofed their JK? Is it worth it? If so, how much did you pay? My dealer is offering rust proofing on my vehicle for $450 lifetime warranty.

I think that DC already has a 5 or 10 year warranty on rust proofing. The last new vehicle I bought came with it from the dealer, but I don't see it doing anything. If you are really interested for a similar price you can get counteract and it will be much better.

Ziebart.com for all your Rust Protection Services 10 year rust through warranty and added sound barrier effects too. Will help quiet down them oversized tires The manufacturer rust warranty aint worth a dam BTW Take a looksie under your jeep and tell me it wont rust. Hell my 2 door had rust all over the diff and it had less than 30 miles on it when i picked it up. Spray our rust eliminator on let it sit over night and sprayed right over. Shouldnt have any problems in the future with it! If your local Ziebart says they dont have specs for a 2 door tell em to check the 4 door Front doors are the same.

Any of those will work...keep in mind it makes a helluva mess. Worth the money just not to have to clean it up afterwards DO NOT buy into that crap about the factory "rust protection" being lifetime either. The factory's idea of rust protection is to apply caulking to all the body seams inside and underneath. If a rock scrapes the paint or anything like that you are totally screwed unless you have some sort of barrier between the metal and the water/air Dont forget to factor in the amount of time without your vehicle when it does rust out
