Description

Rust Shield works best when the metal underneath is clean and completely dry. This kit gives you the full preparation-and-protection system: 

500ml / 16.9 fl oz. All Purpose Cleaner: A safe, water-based cleaner designed to cut through grease, grime, and stains on a wide range of hard surfaces. Perfect for boat decks, benches, stainless steel, plastics, concrete, glass, and paintwork. Ideal for prepping surfaces before applying Rust Shield, especially when used with Salt Shift’s hard and soft bristle brushes.

500ml / 16.9 fl oz. Rust Shield: Reliable protection against corrosion. Rust Shield forms a clear, hydrophobic barrier that stops rust from forming or spreading. The oil-based formula cures to a tough, non-stick finish in 3 to 4 days and provides long-lasting protection for vehicles, trailers, and ATVs exposed to salted roads, beaches, and coastal conditions.

Formulated, Made and bottled in Australia.

Specifications

    Typical 4x4 coverage: Approximately 300–350 mL

    Tack-dry time: Approximately 2–3 hours

    Full dry time: Approximately 2–3 days

    Protection duration: Up to 12 months, depending on conditions and use

    We suggest checking before each trip to ensure you're protected.

    How to check: Rust Shield leaves a hydrophobic barrier on your vehicle's chassis. Once the hydrophobic properties start to fail It's time to reapply.

    Pro Tip: If your chassis doesn't rinse clean with a quick wash. Your Rust Shield coating may need topping up.

Included Items

1x Rust Shield (500ml / 16.9 fl oz.): high-gloss and non-stick once cured. Oil-based and non-lanolin.
1x All Purpose Cleaner (500ml / 16.9 fl oz.): Water-based hard-surface cleaner for grease, dirt, grime and stains
1x Hard Bristle Brush: Stiff bristles for thick mud, salt deposits and heavy grime on durable areas
1x Soft Bristle Brush: Ultra-soft flagged bristles for salt, sand and light grime on delicate finishes

How to Use

Step 1 - CLEAN
Start by spraying All Purpose Cleaner over dirty or greasy chassis and underbody areas. Clean thoroughly. No dirt or mud should be left behind.

Step 2 - AGITATE
Use the Hard Brush’s stiff bristles on thick mud, salt deposits and stubborn grime across durable surfaces. For lighter contamination or more delicate finishes, use the Soft Brush’s ultra-soft flagged bristles. Rinse or pressure-wash the residue away, repeat the clean if needed, then allow the metal to dry completely.

STEP 3 - SPRAY Rust Shield
Spray Rust Shield. Apply an even coating. One standard 4x4 uses around 330 ml (11.1 oz). Less than one bottle. Extra coating performs worse.

STEP 4 - CURE
Tack dry in 3 hours, so normal tarmac driving is fine the same day. Then takes 3-4 days to cure and harden before beach, trail, or wet roads.

Give it a touch test before the next trip. Hard and non-stick means it's ready.


Important: Do not apply to brakes, engines or exhaust components. Wear suitable respiratory and eye protection during application.

What Makes It Different

SEE THE PROTECTION OVER TIME

Protection that holds up over time. See how Rust Shield helps defend treated metal against corrosion as exposure continues.

HARD-CURING, NON-STICK FINISH

Rust Shield isn’t lanolin-based. Its oil-based formula cures and hardens into a clear, high-gloss, non-stick finish that helps prevent salt, sand, dirt and moisture from clinging to protected metal.

INDEPENDENTLY TESTED

Rust Shield has been independently tested by a NATA-accredited laboratory in Australia to validate its corrosion-protection performance.

PROTECTION THAT LASTS

Once fully cured, Rust Shield provides durable corrosion protection for up to 12 months, depending on conditions and use.

Spray it yourself. No hoist, No workshop

The DIY spray-on formula is designed to perform in one thin, even coat. Most standard 4x4s require approximately 300–350 mL.
Tack-dry within 4 hours; suitable for sealed roads the same day.
Cures completely after 3–4 days, ready for the beach or trail.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Rust Shield just lanolin in a different bottle?

No. Rust Shield is not lanolin-based. Its oil-based formula cures and hardens into a clear, high-gloss, non-stick finish.

Will it remove the rust I already have?

No. Rust Shield is a preventive barrier, not a rust remover or converter. Existing corrosion should be treated appropriately before application.

How long does it take to cure?

Rust Shield becomes tack-dry in approximately 2-3 hours. Allow approximately 3-4 days for it to become fully dry and durable before beach driving, trails, launching or wet-road exposure. Perform a non-stick touch test first.

How many Litres do I need?

Most standard 4x4s require approximately 300–350ml for one thin, even coat, so one 500ml bottle is generally sufficient.

Are your products safe to use on all surfaces?

Yes! Our formulas are non-corrosive and safe for gel coat, fiberglass, aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, rubber, and painted surfaces. They effectively remove salt deposits without causing damage.

Will Salt Shift strip wax or protective coatings?

No! Our formulas are pH-balanced and designed to clean effectively without stripping wax, ceramic coatings, or protective sealants.

Is it safe to use on my vehicle?

Yes, the Salt Shift wash is formulated to be safe for all vehicle surfaces, including paint, metal, and plastics. It’s tough on contaminants but gentle on coatings and finishes.

Will Salt Shift wash prevent corrosion?

Yes, regular use helps prevent corrosion by removing salt and contaminants that can damage metal surfaces.

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield

Rust Shield keeps everything looking brand new! You guys should have a dealer in the United States so we could get the product quicker. It took a month or more to get the Rust Shield on my first order through Amazon. My second order, I went directly through your website and it was slightly faster. Thanks for the great product!!!!!!!!!

Amazing product works and looks great.

Frame looks like it’s freshly painted. Drove through some flood water downtown during a nor’easter at our beach town. Frame had a cloudy look again. Just sprayed it with a pressure washer, water only. Looked brand new again.

Rust shield really works 💪 I've been to the Cape and back with river crossings on the beaches and the dusty tracks etc and everything under the ute is still clean as I love this stuff

Seems to work well, we live Oahu close to the beach so we will see how it holds up in the long run.

Easy to apply and if applied correctly there is no running of the product. Also, it was able to do entire under carriage on my vehicle with one bottle. Looks amazing!

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield Bundle

I like the Salt Shift much better than other undercarriage rust treatment as Salt Shift does not turn everything black. The frame and running gear looks new and it coats without changing the natural colors of the other components. Two thumbs up!

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield Bundle

I’m 55 this year. Was a detailer before my mechanical apprenticeship in the early 90’s. In that time I can tell you of 3 products I would recommend because they work. A particular black RTV silicone. A particular injector cleaner in a bottle. And rust shield from salt shift. I just did the recommended 12 month reapplication and the results are amazing. I almost felt like it didn’t need the top up. Sensational.

4x4 Rust Shield Bundle

Easy to apply. Will get back too you when I’ve done some off road.

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield

Just washed the Jeep, once dried I sprayed the under carriage per the instructions. I did get some on the fenders which are powder coated steel and faded they now look new as does the under side. This stuff just works the only downside is it took 3 days to dry and I attribute that to the humidity but it was definitely worth it!

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield

Living in the PNW means putting the rig through just about everything—mud, sand, rain, river crossings, and plenty of wet roads. That’s why I’ve been really impressed with Salt Shift. Their products do more than just one thing. They help repel mud and sand from the chassis, make cleanup way easier (most of it blows right off with my blower), and most importantly, help protect the truck from rust and corrosion. The protection lasts for weeks and doesn’t just disappear after a little rain or water. When I’m ready to remove it, I use a chemical wash. I’m pretty picky about what I recommend, especially when it comes to products I use on my own rig. Salt Shift is something I’ll stand behind. Thanks Salt Shift for making a product that actually works. 🤙

Absolutely fantastic brought the entire underneath of my 4x4 to clean and shiny from dirt and road grime Love it and will be using it on all of my cars

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield

The aging mower trailer has had a rebirth. Cleaned it up and then treated the metal frame and rims with Salt Shift. Should be a good test for this product. It looks good already and hopefully after it has dried will protect trailer for some time.

4x4 Rust Shield

Very easy to use After I applied the product and was driving with friends.They all asked me why my car looked so good underneath

4x4 Rust Shield

Was sceptical that it was going to work, 3 weeks on and the chassis is still looking good compared to how it was.

Stays on really well. I know my chassis is protected. Excellent product

I cleaned it down, then applied salt shift. The attached photo is after a 300klm run up the coast, another day up the beach and wash off. It's still as good as the day I applied it. Love it.

Customer photo review of 4x4 Rust Shield

Very easy to use and leaves a great finish!

4x4 Rust Shield

I really do believe your product works great. Easy to apply. Seems to last decently from application to application. Time will tell how well it protects from our wintry salt season in Michigan. The price is a little high (even on sale) compared to other barriers that I have used but if it works........ I really like how it hardens after application. Others that I have used collected dust and dirt and had to be forcefully removed with a pressure washers before reapplying .

4x4 Rust Shield

Perfect and easy to use.

4x4 Rust Shield

Great, awesome product

4x4 Rust Shield

Love the brushes ... wheels are easy to clean. Salt shift is excellent for my 4x4 ... I do not do any beach work, however I do spend a lot of time on private properties, so have to contend with mud and manure ... cattle always prefer to leave their droppings on the tracks for reasons only known to them. Highly recommend the products I have purchased from Salt Shift.
