I dunno man, I used to do it at the dealership I worked at, and all it did was put liek a wax coating all over all the s*** inside your doors, etc and just looked like ass. I guess out east you guys need it cause of all but in calgary for sure it's a gimmick.
True the work done at the Stealership is BS.
But not from Metropolitain
Plus the Stealership ONLY gives a Limited time warrenty for its rust proofing, when Metropolitain warrenties it for the life of the Vehicle transferable between owners.

"First, due to its great affinity for metal, the product will repel water. Second, when in contact with water, the product forms a gel that has anti-rust properties and that will fill cavities and cracks, which will at the same time remove all traces of humidity.
Third, every service centre is equipped with industrial dryers (500,000 Btu!) that can completely dry your vehicle.
The same technique is used during the winter. Dryers dry and de-ice all metal surfaces of your vehicle, leaving them warm enough to increase the efficiency of the treatment.
So rain or shine, you can have your vehicle treated on the day of your appointment, regardless of the mood Mother Nature is in. Don't forget that Metropolitan Rust Proofing has taken every measure to insure peak efficiency of your treatment.
Drilling
Upon the first anti-rust treatment of their vehicle, many people are shocked when they see our technicians drill holes in their vehicle. The 'drilling' is probably the most unfamiliar operation of the treatment. It enables us to reach strategic locations such as the inside of the rocker panels and doors.
Rocker panels
Rocker panels are drilled in two locations on two-door models and in three locations on four-door models (2 in the front and 1 in the back) to allow access to enclosed areas where humidity builds up. Because of their location, rocker panels are particularly exposed to calcium deposits during the winter, to wearing from door friction and they also have many solder joints and folds, etc. Rocker panels are generally where rust first appears on untreated vehicles.
Note: After drilling, each hole is coated with a mixture of grease and oil and plugged with a black rubber cap. These holes measure approximately half an inch in diameter. Please note that drilling locations vary from one vehicle model to another.
Doors
Doors are drilled in only one location that is approximately 15cm from the bottom edge. The bottom part of the door is generally very sensitive to rust for three reasons: humidity easily settles inside, wearing is important due to constant friction and the structure contains many folds. Drilling the doors enables us to reach the inside and apply the product uniformly."
