The Oilgard Advantage
Our technicians will assess your vehicle and determine which of our oils is best suited for your car. Newer/cleaner vehicles tend to get more “Formula 2” no drip, where as older vehicles with pre existing rust will likely receive a double coat. The first being a generous coat of our “classic” which is our flagship product. It is the pink oil that drips for a few days after the application, followed by and coat of no drip to help give it lasting protection. Extra oil charges apply in certain situations.
We take the time to remove all skid plating from the underside of newer cars to ensure a thorough application. We do charge accordingly for the extra labour involved, please contact us if you have any questions.
Your car will be drilled in precise and symmetrical locations to allow proper access to inside certain body panel areas where rust starts. The holes are then lubricated and capped with black plastic “oilgard” plugs.

We belong to a chain of independent OilGard dealers who own franchise rights in their respective territories throughout Ontario. We only use OilGard products which are, in our opinion, the very best products available! Our Classic is the “original Drip oil” that is pink in colour and tends to drip for 3-5 days after the application. Our Formula2 No Drip is golden/clear in colour, still spreads, creeps, and penetrates but will not drip off the vehicle. It is the absolute best “no drip oil” product available.
We typically always recommend using a combination of both oils in each application. First, we use our Classic inside doors, rocker panels, quarter panels, or any pre-existing rusty/dusty areas. NoDrip is applied in the trunk/hatch/underhood and on the underside & wheel well areas. Our technicians will assess the condition of your car and always use the best product for the current application.
Although there is never a “bad time” to spray Oilgard, there are certainly times that are more beneficial. Here in Windsor, we choose to restrict our availability during the winter months, and only schedule work on mild days, we also try to avoid spraying in any snowy conditions. Spring, Summer & Fall are the best times to get your vehicles in! We aim to always make sure the customer gets the most from their application. If we ever believe that the current weather conditions will impact the effectiveness of service, we will reschedule at our discretion.
One application per year on a newer vehicle is typically fine, but some of our customers insist on 2 applications the first year, then skipping to once a year, or every 18 months afterwards. (You can definitely tell the ones who take care of their vehicles the most!). With the rising cost of vehicles and subsequent repair work, we are firm believers that an extra spray is never a “waste of money”. If your vehicle is older and already has rust starting, we usually recommend a 3/6/9 month respray interval. If the recommended interval is extended contrary to our recommendations, extra charges will apply for future service.
The instant your vehicle is manufactured and exposed to the elements the process of corrosion is in full swing. The truth is that dealer sold “rust protection” packages are not effective, these will cost you hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars, and will not offer the same protection as a yearly visit to OilGard Anti-Rust. Our products work extremely well, and with regular appointments by diligent customers, your vehicle could last up to 30 years or longer! Our goal is to make sure you get the most out of your vehicle while you own it, and that you have maximum resale value when that time comes(or hand down to the next generation as is often the case). The smartest time to OilGard your vehicle is as soon as you take possession of it.
Is most cases, nothing needs to be done prior to the oilgard application. If however your vehicle is “excessively dirty” on the underbody, then an undercarriage wash is beneficial, but we ask that you do this the day before your appointment. We do offer undercarriage washes as an extra service, please inquire for pricing.
For larger vehicles and trucks, it is good practice to remove the spare tire periodically to inspect the air pressure, and lubricate the cable/mechanism that secures it to the vehicle. This is an extra service that we offer (with some exceptions) starting at $20. Removing the spare also allows us to gain better access to the rear frame and box supports on pickup trucks.
Certain customers go the extra mile and remove their own wheel well liners prior to the service. This also helps to periodically clean out any dirt and debris that can find its way behind the liners. It is an extra service we offer (with some exceptions) but the vehicle must be dropped off for the day, or overnight to allow the extra time needed to complete the service.
After your visit to OilGard, your vehicle will need a good wash. We do squeegee off the windshield and front windows to remove some of the overspray film, but we recommend a good old fashioned “hand wash” with a good car wash detergent after 24hrs. Use of automated “drive thru” car washes are not our recommendation but if this is your only means to wash the vehicle, please choose a package that will not blast the underside. (Underside washes are “ok” before the service, but not recommended immediately afterwards).
Due to the moderate amount of no show and late appointments we are now requiring a $100 PayPal deposit to secure your appointment using this portal. Thank you for your understanding. Drop off appointments are more readily available. If you are able to leave the vehicle with us for a the day, or even overnight we will do our best to accommodate, just shoot us an email @ windsoroilgard@gmail.com with your info and we’ll get you set up! OilGard Anti-Rust Windsor reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any appointment as we see fit
