Rust Proofing & Undercoating in Rochester NY
What We Offer
When it comes to protecting your vehicle, there are many rustproofing options on the market, but very few actually deliver long-term results. At Palermo’s Auto Works, we trust only the best: NH Oil Undercoating and Rustproofing.
NH Oil stands out because it penetrates through existing rust and reaches the base metal, unlike conventional undercoating’s that can trap moisture and accelerate corrosion.
NH Oil displaces moisture, cuts off oxygen, and stops oxidation, providing real protection, not just a temporary cover-up.
For brand new vehicles with no existing rust or corrosion, we offer a specialized solution: Boss Wax.
Boss Wax seals and protects new metal surfaces to prevent rust before it starts.

NH Oil vs. Traditional Rubberized Undercoating Why It Matters
When it comes to protecting your vehicle from rust, not all products are created equal. Here’s why NH Oil Undercoating is a smarter, longer-lasting choice compared to traditional rubberized undercoating:
NH Oil Undercoating
-
Penetrates existing rust to reach and protect the base metal
-
Displaces moisture and oxygen stopping the corrosion process
-
Remains flexible it won’t crack, peel, or trap salt and moisture
-
Easier to reapply annually for ongoing protection
Traditional Rubberized Undercoating
-
Encapsulates moisture if not perfectly applied accelerating rust
-
Cracks and peels over time, exposing vulnerable metal
-
Hard to inspect and touch up once applied
-
Creates a false sense of protection while rust eats away underneath
At Palermo’s Auto Works, we choose NH Oil because it actually stops rust in its tracks, not just hides it.
Protect your car, truck, or SUV with the best rust proofing in Rochester NY.
Rust Proofing FAQ
How often should I rust proof my vehicle?
We recommend a full rust proofing service initially, followed by a yearly touch-up service for just $75.
Touch-ups help maintain the protective barrier, ensuring ongoing defense against moisture, salt, and corrosion, especially during Rochester’s harsh winters.
Is rust proofing worth it in Rochester NY?
Absolutely! In areas like Rochester NY, where road salt and snow are common, rust proofing is one of the best investments you can make to extend your vehicle’s life and maintain its resale value.
Does rust proofing void my vehicle warranty?
No. Rust proofing does not void your factory warranty. In fact, many dealers recommend it. Our products are safe for all vehicle types, including new cars, trucks, and SUVs.
What’s the difference between NH Oil and rubberized undercoating?
NH Oil Undercoating penetrates existing rust and protects from within, while rubberized undercoating can trap moisture if cracked or damaged. NH Oil remains flexible, breathable, and is easier to maintain year after year.
Can you rust proof a used vehicle?
Yes! Whether your vehicle is brand new or several years old, rust proofing can help. NH Oil is specially designed to neutralize existing rust and prevent it from spreading.
