The fact is, a new vehicle is subjected to
thousands of spot welds and numerous bends and folds during
production. This process damages the pre-coated metal, allowing
exposure to the corrosion process. Besides cosmetic damage, corrosion
also weakens a vehicle’s structural integrity and can affect
steering and suspension components. This product is designed to
create a barrier that can’t be broken, chipped, or cracked. By
staying fluid, our petroleum-based rust protection heals back over
after any abrasions providing lasting protection, even in extreme
conditions.
Unlike paint or conventional undercoating, which
covers and encapsulates rust, our oil penetrates through rust to the
base metal. Our oil is self-healing, designed to displace moisture
and remove oxygen. Take either out of the equation, and oxidation
cannot occur. Our corrosion inhibitors will then fight rust on a
chemical level. Our oil is formulated to penetrate deep into seams,
body cavities, and spot welds, creating a barrier against the
elements in an environment prone to hold moisture and conducive to
corrosion.
With the introduction to road brine (liquefied
salt), this extremely corrosive solution is now able to penetrate
deep into your vehicle’s body cavities where rock salt could not.
Many of these road brine solutions contain magnesium chloride,
calcium chloride, and additives to help them stick to surfaces.
The problem is, they don’t discriminate. For
most people, a car wash is their maintenance program. Unfortunately,
this can prove detrimental to combating corrosion. Many car washes
recycle water, likely not eliminating all of the corrosive solutions.
Combine that with the fact that it’s pushing with high-pressure
water into your vehicle’s undercarriage where it was never intended
to be, which can be very counterproductive.
NH Oil Undercoating Will provide you superior
protection. It remains soft. It compensates for heat and will not dry
or crack like traditional hard-coatings and substantially reduce the
corrosive effects your vehicle is subject to during winter
conditions. In our opinion, Oil-based rustproofing is the most
forgiving way to treat corrosion.
Here is how it works!

What is the difference between NH Clear &
Back-N-Black Oil?
Exact same product other than a carbon graphite
biodegradable black tint to improve the surface appearance.
What is NH Oil Undercoating® made from?
NH Oil Undercoating® is a highly refined
food-grade mineral oil product. Formulated with the environment in
mind, NH Oil Undercoating is a nonhazardous unregulated product. It
causes no health or flammability hazards.
The technical term is resolute oil, otherwise
known as mineral oil. It is a food-safe grade oil, which means you
can consume it in small quantities. Of course I’m not encouraging
you to try. However, we had a customer call last year whose pet dog
did just that. The only adverse reaction was loose stool! No solvents
and no detergents. Corrosion inhibitors are all green and
environmentally friendly.
Our oil has natural corrosion inhibitors otherwise
known as “green inhibitors”, derived from plants and animal fats.
Contains no solvents or detergents. It is an environmentally friendly
product considering it does not drip. (Minimal dripping may occur).
Our NH Back-N-Black has a biodegradable tint, otherwise the same as
the clear product.
In our opinion, Oil-based rustproofing is the most
forgiving way to treat corrosion.
Our oil is formulated to displace moisture, the
presence of oil will deprive the surface of oxygen. When you take
either out of the equation, oxidation cannot occur, so as long as the
product is present rust is held at bay. NH Oil will simultaneously
fight corrosion on a chemical level as well. The presence of the oil
will form a barrier to protect the surface. NHOU Is formulated to
migrate and creep. This is especially important to the weak areas of
a vehicle, rocker panels, door panels, etc. areas that are by design
prone to rust. The surfaces are generally unprotected with a finish
(paint), prone to hold moisture and are very thin. Over the course of
a warm month, it is not uncommon for our oil to move as much as
several inches. In a cross member of a pickup truck bed, that would
encapsulate the entire inside surface area. Having some surface rust
can actually be a plus. Much like using an abrasive to scuff a
surface prior to applying a finish, the rust will give the product
something to hang on to.
Will it void my warranty?
Absolutely not! Because NH Oil Undercoating® is
an entirely different approach, it eliminates annoying electrical
malfunctions and makes the vehicle work better and last longer. While
the manufacturers probably won’t admit it, they just have to love
NH Oil Undercoating® because it will reduce the number of corrosion
related warranty claims they are obligated to pay. It also saves
customers the time and aggravation associated with claims against
warranties. NH Oil Undercoating is used and sold by most major
manufacturers dealerships.
Will it drip?
NH Oil Undercoating is formulated not to drip.
However, minimal dripping may occur if the product is applied
heavily. In most cases clean up is simple, Dawn dish soap or Simple
Green usually does the trick.
Do you clean the vehicle first?
Check with your dealer, each shop is independently
owned and operated. In most cases, if your vehicle arrives with a
heavy residue of mud, flaky rust it would be necessary to wash/remove
before treatment. We recommend that any heavy accumulation of mud and
dirt be pressure washed from the frame and wheel wells a day prior to
the application.
Note, arrangements may be necessary to allow
adequate time for preparation and additional costs may occur.
Can it be done if the car is wet?
Of course it can. Because OIL chases water, it can
be applied on rainy days. Water actually accelerates the creeping
abilities because it moves quickly on wet surfaces to attack and
displace moisture in tight seams and hard to reach crevices. Some
competitor’s products are designed to mix with water with the idea
that when the product drips off, the water goes with it. Not so with
our products. We make sure that our chemical chases only the water
from the metal. This is another reason why our products give longer
lasting protection to your vehicle.
How soon can I wash my car?
You can wash your vehicle immediately after the
treatment. (avoid high-pressure undercarriage washing) Unlike other
preventing methods, it will not trap moisture. It literally pushes it
away, leaving behind a corrosion-fighting lubricating film.
How is it applied?
NHOU is atomized under high pressure which pushes
the product deep into the seams, cracks and crevices where corrosion
starts. Once applied, the product removes the moisture in these areas
and provides a strong adherence to these surfaces, remaining active
with excellent “creeping” and self-healing abilities.
SMOKE & ODOR NOTICE
You may notice smoke and odor from the underside
of the vehicle the first time the vehicle is driven. This is due to a
small amount of overspray vaporizing on the exhaust system. It is
harmless and should cease quickly.
BRAKES NOTICE
You may notice a grinding noise when braking. This
is due to a small amount of over-spray collecting on the brake
lining. This is not a safety hazard and should cease after a few
stops. Paint: NHOU’s products cannot stop scratches, peeling of
paint or stone chips. Damage to exterior paint should be repaired
promptly otherwise surface corrosion can occur.
How often should NH Oil Undercoating be
applied?
While driving habits may vary, we recommend an
annual application in order to maintain adequate protection.
What is the bulk flash point of NH Oil
Undercoating® NAS?
The bulk flash point of NH Oil Undercoating® NAS
is 425 F.
Will NH Oil Undercoating® harm electrical
connections ?
No. NHOU is non-conductive and will not harm
electrical connections. Make sure that all connections are made
before applying NHOU.
