Wish my car's original owners knew about this stuff...

I helped my dad wash the 3gee all my life, i always remembered how he washed inside the wheel wells and under the car and i thought that was a little strange. But even with all that effort theres still a little body rust. I wish he would have used this stuff too.

I've owned 2 3G's, an '87 LX-i hatch and my present car. The hatch, which came to market when the 3G's were in high demand, also nailed the original owner with a $1500 whack for "rustproofing" and "upholstery protection" and maybe something else. Just an additional markup. Anyway, there used to be these companies like Rusty Jones, who drilled access holes in the bodywork to access the inside of the doors, etc. Turns out these holes ended up rusting themselves over the years, and on balance the whole idea of this aftermarket rustproofing turns out to have been not such a great deal.

Most of our cars that are in the rustbelt or the northeast have rust in the rear wheel arches. Mine also had a hole in the rear of the left rear wheel well, which I discovered when I pulled out the trunk panels to clear the sunroof drains. I think the wheel arch rust is caused by this kind of whitish body putty that Honda applied inside the sheet metal. It absorbs moisture and lets it fester, and there's really no way to stop the rust as long as that stuff is around. Hopefully, this year I'm going to have both arches cut out and replaced, and the new ones can then be regularly washed out and the rust problem will be history.

Rustproofing really does work. However, most shops will not apply it toroughly and will obviously not know where are the weak areas of certain cars.

When I complete my hatch, I'll treat it myself so it stays rust free for many years still.

Up here in Quebec, most people have their car rustproofed every year. I found out that Rustcheck makes decent product for the DIYer

P.S. Anyone noticed the Bosch H4 Conversion :D

Since my car has been a Texas car all it's life I have not seen any body rust. I lived in Corpus Christi from 92-94 and was pretty diligent about washing the underbody, door hinge area, and engine compartment. I can literally find no significant rust on the car.

I thought that was a Honda commercial at first, from the 80s! And that thing is MINT!

Ha yeah I totally saw that. I played it back about 8 times trying to figure out if those were sealed beams or not. Something didn't quite look right!

Only if you plan to MAKE love to it :inout:
