i know more from personal experience that with the oil that we use at Houghton Rust Control their is hardly any mess, some drips from the doors over night and then nothing after that, with a thin oil in the doors, hood, trunk, fenders, quaters and rockers, its the only true way to get into the seems properly, with a dripless oil, the oil doesn't creep into the seems properly. With the oil we use it can creep UP HILL! Oh and if you question any of this my last name is Houghton, I've been here for 10 years my dad for 36! Name me another Oil Spraying company in town that's been around for 36 years and is still growing every year!

and for URBANVAN phone number is 519 579 3320, give us a call and any other questions you have can be explained then

tell me this please, not trying to be smart.

On your civic, how do you expect to get into the quater panel or rocker panel without drilling a hole?... because i don't know about you but if the rest of my car is rust free, i woulnd't want a rotted out quater panel and rocker panel.

And the other thing, if oil doesn't drip, how is it supposed to creep around corners and up hill in areas that aren't in the direct path of a dripless oil spray?

Not to knock their place or anything, but just curious about those two things?

You're asking the wrong person. I just pay the bill, they do the work. All I know is we've been going there for over 10 years with our cars and it's been great service and a great product. If you have technical questions, I guess ask them. Apparently there are holes in my 04 for all that stuff

to respond to you AdamCL it is 45 plus tax for cars if you mention vitalmotion.

secondly to respond to you Slawek, I don't need to ask them technical questions because we've already experimented with no drip oil as well as not drilling holes, both methods failed years ago.

Oh and your 2004 civic coupe there is proper access to the quaterpanels for spraying, and no access at all to the rocker panel!

lol ok man, that's great. I was just advertising where we've taken all our cars and we've had no issues with rust in 10 years, so that's why I suggested it. I'm sure they have their ways of reaching in, otherwise they'd get bad reviews and would not be in business, or wouldn't be selling that product.

actually know that its getting closer to the fall it takes a little longer, in the next few weeks expect to be here for about 30 minutes, and the longest ever in the fall like 60 minutes. and once we get into september, it's best to call before you come.

Oh and Thanks Tom for the pleasant comments
