A Oil:

ng doesn’t

prevent rust

OILING vehicles to combat corro-
sion is a waste Of time and money
according to rust profection ex-
perts. ~ _

Results of intensive tests con-
ducted by the Ontario Research
Foundation(ORF), an independent
research facility, support conten-
tions that oiling. processes sold as
rust protection are ineffective.

“ORF's test results prove con-
clusively that‘ oiling offers no
long-term protection against cor-
rosion, confirming. our conviction
that manufacturers’ claims are
misleading and cannot be substan-
tiated,” says David C. Vegh,
Ph.D.,. a published authority on
automotive rust.

The test findings show that oil-
ing: provides only a thin coating
that: washes off and doesn’t offer
protection against rain, snow,
humidity, detergents, and
temperature extremes.

“Yet the public is led to believe
that“there is a ‘lifetime’ warranty.
There'is no consumer value in that

ind ‘of... misleading. guarantee,’’

direction to determine, the corro-

ineffectiveness of ‘oiling methods

the compounds presently used by
the oiling industry.

gear lubricants and hydraulic fluid.

Application methods of oiling
are haphazard, explains Vegh.
“There is no pre-cleaning of the
vehicle, so that in many cases the
oil-type compound is applied to
caked-on mud, salt, slush, dirt and
grime.”*

All of the oiling compounds
failed to withstand these simulated
conditions and, in some cases, per-
formed no better than untreated
metal panels. .

There was little difference in the
performance of the four oil pro-
ducts, despite their wide variation
in cost.

“Qiling, long-used with little or

been considered a remedy against
corrosion, but today’s scien-
tifically-controlled research shows
just how ineffective the process re-

-ally is,”’ declares Vegh.

Value-conscious consumers, Dr.
Vegh suggests, should be wary of

extravagant, misleading and un- :

substantiated claims about the

rust-inhibiting capabilities. of oil-.

type products.
