The benefits of our mobile service include the convenience and flexibility of having undercoating services brought directly to your location, as well as the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle is protected from rust and corrosion.

Our mobile NH Oil Undercoating service works by scheduling an appointment for a technician to bring our fully-equipped trailer to your location, where they will provide high-quality undercoating services for your vehicle.

Our standard service range is within 20 miles of Hudson NH. However, we are willing to go further for large fleets to be able to serve as many customers as possible.

Our mobile NH Oil Undercoating service can be used to service a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles.

Our mobile service is the same price as our in-house undercoating. However, we do have a 2-vehicle minimum and a limited service range. 

While it’s not necessary to be present during mobile service, it’s often recommended to be available in case the technician has any questions or needs access to the vehicle.

While we try to remove as must loose rust and debris as possible being the coating is applied, it’s recommended to have it thoroughly cleaned beforehand as well. This is most easily accomplished by using a high-pressure undercarriage carwash before your appointment.

Wax undercoating

Wax undercoating is a type of protective coating that is applied to a vehicle’s undercarriage to prevent rust and corrosion. It dries to a semi-hard consistency..

Wax and oil undercoating are both popular types of undercoating solutions for protecting a vehicle’s undercarriage from rust and corrosion. While both solutions work by forming a protective barrier between the metal surface and corrosive elements, wax undercoating is a hard-drying solution that typically lasts longer than oil undercoating, which is a softer, self-healing solution that may require more frequent applications. The choice between wax and oil undercoating may depend on factors such as climate, usage, your budget, and personal preference.

The frequency of wax undercoating may vary depending on a variety of factors such as climate, usage, and maintenance. However, it is generally recommended to have your vehicle wax undercoated at least once every five years to ensure optimal protection against rust and corrosion.

Yes, wax undercoating can be applied to a vehicle that already has rust, but it is necessary to have the rust removed and treated before applying undercoating for optimal protection. We recommend oil undercoating for an older vehicle that may already have extensive rust.

Rust is typically removed from the undercarriage using a combination of needle scalers, wire brushes, and a zinc-phosphate rust converter to bring the base metal back to its original condition.

Yes, wax undercoating is an eco-friendly solution that is free from harmful chemicals and safe for the environment.

While it is possible to apply wax undercoating yourself, it’s often recommended to have it done professionally to ensure optimal coverage and protection.

While it is possible to remove or reverse wax undercoating, it can be a difficult and time-consuming process, and is often not recommended.

Yes, wax undercoating is a safe and effective solution for protecting the vehicle’s undercarriage and electronics from rust and corrosion.

While it is generally not recommended to combine wax undercoating with other types of coatings or treatments, such as NHOU, it can often be used in conjunction with other undercoating solutions to provide additional protection against rust and corrosion. For example, using wax on the outside of the frame and body and using NHOU on the insides of frame rails and rocker panels.

The duration of a wax undercoating application may vary depending on factors such as the size and type of vehicle but typically takes several hours to complete. However, additional prep work can take several hours to days to complete depending on the current condition of the vehicle.

Rust removal and treatment services

Our rust removal and treatment service is a process that involves removing rust from a vehicle’s undercarriage or other metal surfaces and applying a zinc-phosphate treatment solution to convert any remaining rust and prevent further rust from forming.

Rust is typically removed from the metal surface using a combination of needle scalers, wire brushes, and a rust converter. The converter chemically converts the rust into a more stable compound that can be painted or coated.

The duration of a rust removal and treatment service may vary depending on the extent of the rust and the size of the vehicle, but typically takes anywhere from several hours to several days to complete.

While it may not be necessary to remove all rust, it is recommended to remove as much as possible to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the chemical converter.

We charge $90 per hour for this service. 

We use NHOU rust converter, a rust-inhibiting coating that converts rusted metal in 20 minutes into a rust retarding, paintable surface. When applied to rusted surfaces, iron oxide (rust) is chemically changed to iron phosphate, an inert, hard substance that turns the metal black. This increases the paint adhesion and durability of the coating.
