“Rust Check Thunder Bay – Ultimate Package

​Rating: 3.9 / 5.0

​Executive Summary

The interior restoration met high standards for a 2019 vehicle, effectively mitigating heavy biological load (Doberman/Shepherd shedding).

However, the exterior "Nu Glo" application failed to address paint defects (swirl marks), indicating a lack of mechanical decontamination or buffing prior to sealant application.

​Detailed Analysis
​Interior Performance (90% Satisfactory)

​Success: Complete extraction of persistent pet hair and return to near-factory specifications.

​Failure Point: Minor lack of attention to detail in the high-friction area between the front seats and the center console.

​Outcome: Highly effective for time-saving and deep cleaning, though requiring a minor user-led touch-up.

​Exterior & "Nu Glo" Application (Deficient)
​Observation: Swirl marks remain visible under the coating.

​Root Cause: The product was likely sprayed directly over existing clear coat imperfections without a corrective buffing stage.

​Critique: For a premium package, a mechanical polish should be standard to ensure the sealant doesn't simply "lock in" existing damage.

​Value & Pricing
​Total Cost: $734.44 (inclusive of taxes/fees).

​Price Shift: The base rate for this package has increased from $549 to $649.

​Verdict: While the price hike is notable, the labor saved on the interior restoration justifies the cost, provided you are willing to overlook the lack of exterior paint correction.

“Their service and product is top notch. I've brought a few vehicles to them in the past, and the corrosion process was immediately arrested by their treatment. Going to be revisiting them in a couple of weeks with my latest vehicle. It's a cheap price to pay to get many many more years out of your vehicle, especially at today's prices.”

“My serpentine belt broke on a Sunday and John was the only one available to fix it. He even polished my head light and topped up my windshield washer on the house. Overall it was a good expirence and would recommend Lightning Rod to anyone in the Thunder Bay area.”
