For many years Rustbuster have applied rustproofing waxes, epoxies, and coatings to all types of vehicles more recently offering in-house rustproofing to Car’s classic and new, trucks, motorhomes, and small commercial vehicles.

When the Covid-19 pandemic started, and the UK went into lockdown we had to shut the rustproofing bays we had in-house. Some would argue that vehicle maintenance was still allowed but as an MOT wasn’t deemed necessary, we didn’t believe rustproofing was either, this obviously had a great impact on our business.

Car Underseal Applied by Rustbuster Approved Centres

 

During this period, we thought it would be a good idea to plan for the future and decided that we would look to open rustproofing centres where possible across the UK. Full in-house training was provided by Rustbuster’s own Ian Allen, this training compromised of learning about rust, learning why we rustproof and where to rustproof along with completing a vehicle together. An advert went out and we were first approached by Prestige Auto’s, Walsall, West Midlands and secondly AJ Rust Protection Services, Telford, Shropshire.

 

 

 

Along with these 2 centres offering Full Hot Fog Rustproofing and Half Day Services Rustbuster in Spalding have again started to offer services though at present limited to Half Day Services only.
