I haven`t found any zero-rust products but I got contacts to buy KBS coatings products. So are they good or should I prefer zero-rust ?

Thanks

Everyone is getting into the rust stopping game. Rustoleum's hammered finish paint is said to to do the same also. I would imagine it's comparable to ZR. You may find that if you look at the tech sheets on most of these products, that they're probably very close to each other.

Thank you all.

To Vinnietbird : Why would you refuse to undercoat your car and make it more rust proof ? What´s bad in undercoating?

To jcassity : Thanks a lot if I look at those pages then I start to think I really do. :D And rust.. hmm maybe it´s all in my head :D

There is no rust where Vinnie lives. He sent me a set of 20 year old springs that looked like they were brand new.

Thanks, actually it doesn´t cost that much one car all screws bolts and stuff like this weight about 40kg zincing would cost me 100$ I just did one 74 charger stuff. Those parts on the picture clamps and stuff cost me 4$. I want to get body clean then I can think about body shop.
