Genuine Rust
ProtectionGuaranteed Heavy Duty
Advanced marine-grade rust proofing for every vehicle — built to stop corrosion in Australia's harshest conditions.
The Product
What is Rust Protection?
In its simplest form, Genuine Rust Protection involves spraying various wax and bitumen-based coatings to the chassis, underbody and inside the upper body panels to stop rust and corrosion. Spray-on coatings like Vitacare stop rust by forming a barrier between the metal surface and the salt, moisture and air.
VITACARE® Genuine Rust Protection is suitable for all vehicle types and will provide long-term and effective corrosion protection even in the harshest conditions.
Is it for you?
Who Needs Rust Proofing?
If your vehicle meets salt, water, dust or chemicals, it's a candidate for protection.
The Risk
Do I Need Rustproofing?
or play in high-corrosion areas
"Many car owners underestimate the potential for rust to develop in their vehicle!"
If you tow a boat, regularly park near the beach, or even just park your car outside in a coastal suburb, chances are high your vehicle will be affected by corrosion. And it doesn't take long for surface rust to appear — in some cases within a month or two. Vehicle under-bodies, in particular, are often "out of sight and out of mind" but they'll be in direct contact with dirty or salty water, moist salt-laden air, chemical spills and many other hazards that cause rust and corrosion.
The Formulation
About the Product & Process
VITACARE® Genuine Rust Protection is a highly advanced bituminous and wax-based coating containing marine-grade rust inhibitors, designed to prevent the formation of structural rust in both new and pre-owned vehicles. It remains flexible, is guaranteed not to crack or peel, and is impact and abrasion-resistant.
When spray-applied to metal, it forms a seal over the surface. Because the surface is now sealed, it becomes airtight and watertight — significantly reducing the ability for the rusting process to occur.
Application Guide — areas typically treated
- The entire chassis, both inside and out

Why Vitacare
Product Benefits
Perforation Protection
Protects the vehicle against perforation rust from the window level down.
A Safer Vehicle
Rust can compromise structural integrity — which is why all states require vehicles to be free of structural rust to comply with roadworthy/fitness laws.
Higher Resale Value
Maximises the future resale value — rust in a vehicle can significantly reduce its re-sale value.
Heavy-Duty Coating
Tested to 1000 hours in a salt-spray chamber — stays flexible and won't crack, peel or chip.
