rustproofing
Metal protection treatment
Rustproofing is the process of treating metal surfaces to prevent rust and corrosion, typically applied to vehicles: The dealer offered rustproofing for an extra five hundred dollars.
The term also refers to the protective coating or treatment itself: The rustproofing on the undercarriage was wearing thin.
