The German-born American Kurt Ziebart was the inventor of the rustproofing process for automobiles. It was while working in a Packard body shop in Detroit that Ziebart saw the effects of rust and began looking for a way to protect cars against it. The process he developed is now often called "Ziebart-ing" or "Ziebart-ed", a generic term for rustproofing . In 1959, Kurt Ziebart started the Auto Rustproofing Company with two other investors, and opened the first shop bearing the proprietary Ziebart name on Harper Avenue in Detroit. In 1963, he sold his rustproofing company to an investor group. In 1962, Ziebart's first international location was opened in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. In 1963, Kurt Ziebart sold his rustproofing company to an investor group led by Roger Waindle. Waindle also acquired the right to the name Ziebart which he registered with the company's trademark, a helmet and shield design.

Waindle also acquired the right to the exclusive tooling designed by Ziebart which he then miniatured for easier processing. He also patented the process. With control of the technical approach, Waindle then developed the franchise package including technical and marketing manuals. The company was renamed Ziebart Auto Truck Rustproofing Company. By 1969, Ziebart (then Ziebart Rustproofing Company) had about 150 franchises in the Midwest of the US and in Canada.

Fisher Body Vega Elpo dip On the early Vegas, Fisher's rustproofing process did not treat the entire chassis. The six-stage zinc phosphate rustproofing process began with the untreated steel body shells spending two minutes submerged in a electrophoretic painting vat (Fisher Body Division’s "Elpo" electrophoretic deposition of polymers process) to prime and further protect from rust. Assembled bodies were dried, wet-sanded, sealer-coated, sprayed with acrylic lacquer and baked in a degree oven. However, there was a process failure during the vat treatment stage because a trapped air pocket prevented the anti-rust coating from reaching a gap between the Vegas’ front fenders and cowl.

Rustproofing is the prevention or delay of rusting of iron and steel objects, or the permanent protection against corrosion. Typically, the protection is achieved by a process of surface finishing or treatment. Depending on mechanical wear or environmental conditions, the degradation may not be stopped completely, unless the process is periodically repeated. The term is particularly used in the automobile industry.

A widely circulated rumor states that the cars used Soviet steel supplied to Fiat in return for building the Lada factory.According to diverse sources, including The Independent newspaper 2 August 2005 However, these claims have never been verified. The steel problems are more likely due to poor rustproofing techniques as well as the prolonged strikes that plagued Italy at that time rather than the metal's origin.

The name Thixo-Tex was derived from the thixotropic properties of the rustproofing chemical that was applied to the cars. Thixotropic means a viscous fluid that will flow to self-heal small abrasions. The reason for the change in the product name from Thixo-Tex to Rusty Jones was no one could remember the name "Thixo-Tex". Matex Corporation was a privately held corporation with the corporate headquarters located at 6200 North Hiawatha Ave.

This is why they are often used as anti-corrosion agents and rustproofing. Greatly reducing corrosion allows the complexity of many of the reactor parts to be simplified, and fuel elements no longer require exotic formulations. In most examples the fuel was refined uranium metal in pure form with a simple cladding of stainless steel or aluminum. In the simplest organic reactor designs, one simply replaces just the coolant with the organic fluid.

In traditional automotive manufacturing of the early- and mid-20th century, paint was the final part of the rustproofing barrier between the body shell and the atmosphere, except on the underside. On the underside, an underseal rubberized or PVC-based coating was often sprayed on. These products will be breached eventually and can lead to unseen corrosion that spreads underneath the underseal. Old 1960s and 1970s rubberized underseal can become brittle on older cars and is particularly liable to this.

In the 1970s a Chicago company, Body by Thixo-Tex, became successful on a local scale by offering aftermarket rustproofing services to automobile owners. The company engaged an advertising agency, Dawson, Johns & Black, to promote the brand, which they did by creating the Rusty Jones name and character. Company revenue increased fifty-fold within two years, and Rusty Jones became a nationally known service rivaling Ziebart, the previously established leader.Frank Lane, Killer Brands, 2007 Rusty Jones became a part of Matex Corporation.

A light car was a fast and/or economical car. The introduction of newly available computers for structural analysis from the 1960s, with computers like the IBM 360, the thickness of sheet metal in bodyshells was reduced to the minimum needed for structural integrity. However, corrosion prevention / rustproofing, that had not previously been significant because of the thickness of metal and separate chassis, had not kept pace with this new construction technology. The lightest monocoque economy cars would be the most affected by structural corrosion.

In 1977, Ziebart introduced "Zee-Glaze", a protective polymer sealant that chemically bonded to cars' paint. In 1979, Ziebart (then Ziebart International Corporation) acquired Arndt Palmer Laboratories, a small chemical manufacturer for car care chemicals in Melvindale, MI. This company was then relocated to Redford, MI, and became the base for Ziebart's manufacturing of its own rustproofing sealant, a wax based petroleum product. By the end of the decade, Ziebart had increased the number of franchised locations worldwide to over 650, while at the same time doubling the retail volume of US franchisees.

The nose of the whale is filled with a waxy substance that was widely used in candles, oil lamps, and lubricants The head of the sperm whale is filled with a waxy liquid called spermaceti. This liquid can be refined into spermaceti wax and sperm oil. These were much sought after by 18th-, 19th-, and 20th- century whalers. These substances found a variety of commercial applications, such as candles, soap, cosmetics, machine oil, other specialized lubricants, lamp oil, pencils, crayons, leather waterproofing, rustproofing materials, and many pharmaceutical compounds.

Ammonium thiocyanate is used in the manufacture of herbicides, thiourea, and transparent artificial resins; in matches; as a stabilizing agent in photography; in various rustproofing compositions; as an adjuvant in textile dyeing and printing; as a tracer in oil fields; in the separation of hafnium from zirconium, and in titrimetric analyses. In May 1945, USAAF General Victor E. Betrandias advanced a proposal to his superior General Arnold to use of ammonium thiocyanate to reduce rice crops in Japan as part of the bombing raids on their country. Ammonium thiocyanate can also be used to determine the iron content in soft drinks by colorimetry.

Together, they allowed the 2.5 L Spirit to achieve on the highway, according to 1982 EPA estimates. For automatic transmission- equipped cars, the Chrysler sourced three-speed TorqueFlite ratios were more widely spaced to afford better mileage. American Motors Company was always a company that took chances in the name of innovation and promoted the 1982 Spirit in an unusual television ad campaign. Trying to differentiate their cars from the competition, and to make a point that the "Tough Americans" come with Ziebart rustproofing and a 5-year rust warranty, the ads show a new Spirit dropped into of saltwater.

Aftermarket kits are available to apply rustproofing compounds both to external surfaces and inside enclosed sections, for example sills/rocker panels (see monocoque), through either existing or specially drilled holes. The compounds are usually wax-based and can be applied by aerosol can, brush, low pressure pump up spray, or compressor fed spray gun. An alternative for sills/rocker panels is to block drain holes and simply fill them up with wax and then drain most of it out (the excess can be stored and reused), leaving a complete coating inside. Anti-rust wax like phosphoric acid based rust killers/neutralizers can also be painted on already rusted areas.

He was later awarded for his work. From November 1918 to November 1919, Udy was chief chemist for the Haynes Stellite Company of Kokomo, Indiana. Udy worked on the treatment of cobalt ores from Idaho and on manufacturing processes for stellite. During this period, Udy developed a method of plating piano wire with cadmium. He was later awarded for his work. In 1919, Udy founded the Udylite Process Company in Kokomo, Indiana with Frank C. Nicholson and William A Wissler to explore for and mine metals “of all kinds.” Udy perfected his rustproofing process for steel and iron. Auto makers and manufacturers of metal products, such as Eastman Kodak and Westinghouse, adopted Udylite’s plating processes.

The GAZ M21 Volga is an automobile which was produced in the Soviet Union by GAZ ("Gorkovsky Avtomobilniy Zavod", in English : "Gorky automobile factory") from 1956 to 1970. The first car to carry the Volga name, it was developed in the early 1950s. Volgas were built with high ground clearance (which gives it a specific "high" look, contrary to "low-long-sleek" look of Western cars of similar design), rugged suspension, strong and forgiving engine, and rustproofing on a scale unheard of in the 1950s. The Volga was stylistically in line with the major American manufacturers of the period in which it was introduced, and incorporated such then-luxury features as the reclining front seat, cigarette lighter, heater, windshield washer and 3-wave radio.

Lancia Beta While the Lancia Beta was widely praised upon its launch by the motoring press and general public,"Lancia Beta Gold Portfolio 1972–1984" collection of press articles it soon gained a reputation for being extremely rust-prone, especially with the early models. At the time, it was widely rumored that this was due to the vehicles being constructed with Soviet steel which was allegedly supplied to Lancia's parent company Fiat in exchange for building the main Lada factory.According to diverse sources, including The Independent newspaper 2 August 2005 However, these claims were never verified, and it has been suggested that these issues were more likely the result of poor rustproofing techniques as well as the prolonged factory strikes that plagued Italy at the time. Regardless of the actual cause, these corrosion problems eventually became such an issue that large numbers of them had to be recalled.
