Transparency Under Every Vehicle!

You’ve taken the time to protect your vehicle. Now you can prove it.

RustFax® gives you a detailed report with technician observations, photos, condition notes, and documented service almost like standing under the vehicle with us.

That history stays with the VIN, helping give future buyers confidence and helping your vehicle stand out when it’s time to sell.

As the rustproofing industry grows, transparency matters more than ever. RustFax® helps separate professional service from simply spraying on a product.

Protect it. Document it. Prove it.

RustFax is live and FREE!
Our goal is simple: give rustproofing shops better tools to save time, look more professional, serve customers better, and ultimately run a stronger business.
You can now download RustFax free on Apple and Google Play to document inspections, photos, before-and-after results, and service history. The new locator will also help customers find participating shops.
And coming next is My Steward Pro (November 15) built to bring RustFax, shop management, shared industry knowledge, vehicle-specific information, and other tools together in one place.
We want to help good shops become more efficient, more knowledgeable, and more successful.

Who knew our rustproofing oil had another talent?

Over the years, we've had quite a few concrete contractors buying our oil to use as a form release agent.

Recently, the contractor working on our new warehouse decided to give it a try.

Well, he's beside himself! He told us, "This stuff works like the old-school release oil!" He even said he's gotten multiple uses without having to reapply it.

We've always said some of our best ideas come from our customers. They're the ones who got us thinking about peppermint-infused oil, too!

It's pretty interesting what you learn when you listen to the people actually using your products.

Any other concrete guys out there using NHOU oil? We'd love to hear your experience!

Looks like NHOU of Maine has a new marketing director! 😂

Only 5 years old and already promoting the family business. Something tells me this young man has a pretty bright future!

Love seeing the next generation getting involved. Great job, buddy! Just make sure Mom and Dad don't start charging you for the crayons! 😂

Our 5 year old son turned art class into a marketing class, which we fully support.

Our schedule for the remainder of the year is nearly full but we’ve started our waiting list and have a couple spots depending on your location that we may be able to fill….and if Mother Nature is kind to us we’ll be able to extend our season.

Send us a message or give us a call, 207-620-6859. nhouofmaine.com

Hands-on is always the best way to learn.
One of the highlights from yesterday’s training was getting everyone underneath our 2012 F-150 and letting them see the results for themselves. We wiped away the coating in several areas so everyone could inspect the original shiny black metal underneath.
This truck has been protected since day one, and after all these years, it still tells the story better than we ever could.
Real truck. Real results. Real-world protection.
We’re now officially offering onsite training sessions for:
• DPWs
• Municipal fleets
• Commercial fleets
• Shops
• Schools and vocational programs
If your organization wants to learn how to better protect and maintain your vehicles, we’d be happy to come out and work with your team.
Check out the new training section on our website to learn more and request a demo. More info; https://nhoilundercoating.com/on-site-training/

NEW VEHICLE. OLD PROBLEM. MEET THE BOSS.

When the bed comes off, you get to see the places that normally never see daylight. And sometimes even a newer truck already has a little patina and failing factory wax hiding underneath.
Paul at Rust Crusher addressed those areas first... then the BOSS walked into the room. 😂
BOSS WAX Hybrid was designed specifically with this problem in mind—a Mil-Spec product that combines the durability of wax with enough pe*******on to deal with the light surface rust we see even on newer vehicles.
This is one advantage of being both the manufacturer and the applicator. We learn from hundreds of shops in the field, but we also treat more than 4,000 vehicles a year ourselves. When we see a problem over and over, we work on solving it.
Great work, Paul.

Why would you ever do this to your vehicle?

My wife Carol and son Anthony have the shop all dressed up for fall!
If you’re coming in during October, you’ll be greeted by pumpkins, cornstalks, scarecrows and plenty of fall color.
And as usual, we’ll have something warm waiting for you while we take care of your vehicle: hot chocolate, Starbucks pumpkin spice coffee with REAL cream, and Biscotti's too.
A big thank you to my wife Carol and Anthony for putting it all together. They do a great job making this place feel less like a shop and more like home.
Stop in, grab a cup, and enjoy a little New England fall with us.

Protect the Fleet. Stretch the Budget. Build a Better Program.

Municipal and fleet managers — whether you want to handle rustproofing in-house or have someone do it for you, we can help.

We can train your team at our facility, come to yours, or connect you with a trained applicator. We can also build a comprehensive corrosion-prevention program with the documentation needed to support funding applications, help you navigate available funding opportunities, and give you a dedicated service advisor who stays with you from start to finish.

For eligible transit agencies, federal funding may help cover qualifying corrosion-prevention expenses by 80% !
And you don't have to do this alone. We created the private Municipal Fleet Exchange Facebook group where municipal and fleet professionals can share ideas, ask questions, and learn from each other. No sales pitch—just a place to exchange information and experience.

The goal is simple: make equipment last longer and get more value from every taxpayer dollar.

https://nhoilundercoating.com/fleet-life-extension/

NHOU helps municipalities, DPWs, and public fleets extend equipment life through corrosion prevention, free on-site training, and a repeatable annual maintenance program.

Protect What Taxpayers Already Paid For.

Paul and the team at Rust Crushers doing what they do best—protecting another school bus and helping a municipality get more life out of equipment taxpayers already paid for.

For any town, school district, or fleet department watching this: we can also provide a complete written fleet corrosion-protection program, qualified applicators, and help navigating federal funding opportunities that may cover up to 80% of eligible costs.
And if you’d rather do the work in-house, we also offer on-site training for your own mechanics and fleet staff.

Nice work, Paul. This is exactly the kind of practical fleet work that can save municipalities real money over time.

Marc at NHOU St. Croix Valley showing why proper prep matters.

Needle scaling does a great job knocking off loose, flaky rust before protection goes on. It also tells you a lot about the steel underneath — weak spots, heavy scaling, and areas that may be further along than they looked at first glance.

You can’t protect what you don’t inspect first.

Nice job explaining the process, Marc
