Gold Standard in Rust Prevention & Undercoating
At Legacy Upfitters, we don’t take chances when it comes to corrosion protection. That’s why we use ValuGard, an OEM-approved, military-spec solution that delivers serious, long-term defense.
ValuGard Rust Inhibitor (also called cavity wax) is a one-time, noninvasive treatment that targets the hidden spots where rust starts—like inside doors, rocker panels, and tailgates—without drilling a single hole.
ValuGard Undercoating adds a self-healing, commercial-grade layer that resists salt, abrasion, temperature swings, and road noise. No cracking, no flaking, no reapplications—just reliable, warrantied protection that lasts the life of your vehicle.

Long-Lasting Protection
Rustproofing and Undercoating
Not sure what the difference is? You're not alone. Here's a quick breakdown of what each one does and why both matter if you want your vehicle to last.
Rustproofing
(Rust Inhibitor)
Stop rust where it starts. Our rustproofing—aka “cavity wax”—uses a high-tech fogging method (no drilling!) to coat hidden areas like doors, rocker panels, and tailgates. The mil-spec, solvent-based formula protects from the inside out and includes a $2,500 Lifetime Warranty against rust-through. One clean, effective treatment keeps corrosion out for good.
Undercoating
(VG-160 MIL-SPEC / Commercial Grade)
Shield your undercarriage with ValuGard’s self-healing, solvent- and wax-based coating. It blocks moisture, salt, road debris, and temperature extremes—without cracking, freezing, or flaking. Bonus: it cuts down on road noise, too. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty on new vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get my vehicle protected with ValuGard Undercoat and Rust Inhibitor?
It is normally a 24-hour application process.
Can I drive my vehicle as soon as it's done?
After curing overnight, you may drive your vehicle.
Can I take my vehicle through a car wash?
ValuGard products can take up to one week to fully cure. Avoid car washes or pressure washing the underbody for one week.
My vehicle was just undercoated, why are some areas not coated?
Undercoat is not applied to anything that spins (drive shaft), has moving parts (brakes), or gets hot (exhaust system).
I noticed you undercoated everything besides my frame, why?
Certain vehicle frames have an undercoating applied during assembly. That frame coating is warranted under the manufacturer's 3yr/36K new vehicle limited warranty.
Do you remove the spare tire when you undercoat?
Yes, we remove and coat on the backside. In rare cases, the spare tire may be rusted in and we cannot remove.
My vehicle underbody has some rust. What do you do for prep before applying undercoat?
First, we pressure wash the underbody. Second, wire brush to remove remaining corrosion. Third, we apply ValuGard Rust Converter to encapsulate existing rust and create a quality surface for undercoat bonding. After the converter sets up, we topcoat with ValuGard undercoat. This process takes about 3 hours.
My vehicle is only 1-2 years old, why does it not have a warranty?
Your vehicle had evidence of corrosion/rust on the underbody. Used vehicles with rust or corrosion present do not qualify for any ValuGard warranty.
Why do we need the customer’s name and address?
For any warranted vehicle, we need the customer’s name and address to complete the warranty registration.
I noticed I have some overspray. How can I remove this?
We do our best to mask off certain areas prone to overspray. In some cases, even after a walk-around, we may miss spots. We’d be happy to take care of this for you, or you can remove it with a rag dampened in mineral spirits. Mild mineral spirits are safe on paint. Do not use a hot solvent like MEK or acetone.
Are annual inspections or reapplications required?
No, ValuGard coatings never require inspection. If you see rust, bring it to our attention, or call ValuGard directly at 800-543-7156 to report a claim. Ask for the warranty manager.
