New Product Announcement

Kingston, 9 June, 2010............... Leased vehicle owners get relief from brutal surcharges at trade in time. Rust Check Kingston announces a new service aimed at reducing or eliminating surcharges due to paint chips, scratches and surface rust when leasing clients at lease turn-in time.  Many are surprised to discover that the customer is responsible for leased car damage..  It is a common industry practice. These charges cost many consumers thousands simply because they didn't read the full terms of the lease. Who does? In addition, consumers are also responsible, and charged, for tire wear, paint fade, upholstery wear, and other defects.

Rust Check's NEW Leased Vehicle Treatment targets this problem with an application that treats behind all vehicle external trim and in abrasion prone wheel wells. Rust Check is a fluid film corrosion inhibitor that is effective on the vehicle's external and painted surfaces. The new Rust Check Leased Vehicle Treatment also includes a structural corrosion report, written warranty, and an applicator to treat any new chips or scratches that occur during the year.

Rust Check believes this to be the first rustproofing application aimed at this market. Previous to this leasers and drivers who changed vehicles every few years went without rust protection. This specialized treatment creates a new automotive business that could save Canadian consumers millions annually while creating new jobs in the rustproofing industry.

This treatment will initially be priced at $69.95 and take approximately 15 minutes.

It is also recommended for owners who trade their vehicles every few years.  New looking cars are valued the highest at trade-in value.

Ironically, most lease drivers are unaware that they will be charged for wear and damage to the car when they turn it in at the end of the lease. Costs come as a shock. The technician at CKWS radio who made our introductory radio ad told us that he was charged over $2000 at trade-in time on his leased vehicle. Because of a little surface rust and chips, his car dealer told him they were going to have to paint the entire car. I wonder if they did, or just pocketed the money!

Things the customer is financially responsible for  include:

  • Paint damage and rust repairs
  • Rips or tears in the upholstery
  • Cracks in the dash, door trim, etc.
  • Tire wear
  • Scratches or chips in the windows

All this can add up to thousands. At least Rust Check can help with the paint damage and premature rust. Rust Check the only automotive rust inhibitor that is research proven effective on surface rust.
