Warranty Information

Information and Disclaimer:

Proper service and repair procedures are vital to the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles as well as the personal safety of those performing the repairs. Standard safety procedures and precautions (including use of safety goggles and proper tools and equipment) should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

Dakota Rustproofing, Inc. applies a safe, non-toxic, solvent-free lanolin-based gel via high pressure to the underside of vehicles.  Partially including: frame, pans, doors, tailgates, inner cavities, battery connections, hinges and more.  Generally applied to all metalwork that is NOT the outside of the vehicle.

The product is NOT designed to “dry” or “harden”.  This gives it its unique protection properties.  It simply cannot be scratched or scraped.   Dakota Rustproofing, Inc, recommends leaving the product alone.  If work is to be performed on the vehicle where it has been treated, and product is removed, please arrange to have it re-treated in that spot to retain complete protection.  Contact on skin is safe and clean up with hot soapy water works best.  It will soften skin naturally.  People who are allergic to lanolin should be careful.

Your satisfaction is our number one priority.  If there is a problem, we will certainly try within our limits to remedy the situation to your satisfaction.  All sales are final unless prior agreements were arranged.
