Road salt, liquid brine, slush and sand attack the underside of your vehicle every winter. Rust usually starts where you can't see it: the frame, floor pans, suspension, brake lines, rocker panels and inside the doors. Pristine Detail protects these areas with two proven systems, IGL Aegis clear undercoating and Waxoyl rustproofing. We've been protecting vehicles since 2015 at our Edina shop, serving Edina, Eden Prairie, Bloomington and the Minneapolis area.
IGL Aegis clear underbody coating
IGL Aegis is a clear, graphene-reinforced, two-part (2K) anti-corrosion coating. IGL reports that it has been tested to 6,000 hours of salt spray and 4,000 hours of water immersion. Unlike black, tar-style undercoating, Aegis is transparent, so you can still see the metal underneath and catch any rust early. It needs no primer and repels water, so salt and grime are easier to rinse off.
Waxoyl rustproofing
Waxoyl is a thick, wax-based rust inhibitor. It creeps into seams, box sections and hollow cavities, pushes out moisture and forms a flexible, self-healing film. That film keeps salt and water away from bare metal. It's ideal for the places a spray coating can't reach: inside doors, rocker panels, frame rails and wheel arches.
Why we use both
Aegis protects the exposed underbody with a hard, clear shield, and Waxoyl protects the hidden cavities from the inside. Together they cover your vehicle inside and out.
Our process
- Pressure wash and degrease the underbody to remove salt, dirt and oil.
- Inspect for rust, and treat any surface rust before coating.
- Mask off the exhaust, brakes and other areas that shouldn't be coated.
- Apply two coats of IGL Aegis to the frame and underbody.
- Apply Waxoyl inside the cavities, doors and rocker panels.
Packages
- IGL Aegis Underbody Coating: Clear 2K coating on the frame, floor pans and suspension.
- Waxoyl Rustproofing: Cavity and underbody wax treatment, with annual inspection and touch-up recommended.
- Complete Rust Protection: Both systems for the most complete coverage. Best for new vehicles and trucks driven through Minnesota winters.
Premium products, trained installers
We use genuine IGL Aegis and Waxoyl products, never cheap rubberized sprays that can crack and trap moisture against the metal. Every application starts with thorough cleaning and inspection, because a coating only protects as well as the surface underneath it.
Who it's for
Undercoating is ideal for new vehicles, trucks and SUVs, EVs, and any vehicle you plan to keep through several Minnesota winters. Older vehicles with surface rust can also benefit. Heavy rust may need repair before coating, and we'll tell you honestly what we see.
The best time to protect your vehicle is when it's new or before rust takes hold. Request a quote below, and we'll inspect your vehicle and recommend the right protection.
