Rust Penetrant Maker Invites Technicians to Submit Photos for ‘Rusted Nuts Hall of Fame’

Created by Federal Process Corporation, the new online hall of fame recognizes technicians for all of the hard work consumers often don't realize is involved in a typical repair. The hall of fame also encourages technicians to avoid using torches and hammers on "rusted nuts," and to instead use the revolutionary Free All formula to break through any corrosion and quickly free the fastener.

If you’re a vehicle technician trying to free up a badly corroded fastener, snap a quick digital photo and you might receive a free $50 retail gift card and be inducted into the Free All “Rusted Nuts Hall of Fame.”

Created by Federal Process Corporation, manufacturer of Free All Deep Penetrating Oil, the new online hall of fame — located at www.freealloil.com — recognizes technicians for all of the hard work consumers often don’t realize is involved in a typical repair. The hall of fame also encourages technicians to avoid using torches and hammers on “rusted nuts,” and to instead use the revolutionary Free All formula to break through any corrosion and quickly free the fastener.

“Some fasteners are absolute nightmares for technicians and can add significant time to the repair,” said Federal Process Automotive Products Manager Marc Spector. “Our online hall of fame is a fun way to reward techs who are wrenching fasteners that look like they’ve been soaking in salt water and to introduce the industry best rustbreaker – Free All.”

Each month, Federal Process will post all qualified entries to the “Rusted Nuts” gallery and choose an inductee to the hall of fame. To qualify for entry into the monthly hall of fame awards program, submissions must include technician name, business name and contact information. Submissions must be made in digital format and be emailed to: [email protected]. One $50 retailer gift card will be rewarded each month to a qualified inductee. The technician submitting the year’s best photo will be awarded a $250 retailer gift card.

Long a favorite in the heavy industrial market and other demanding industries, Free All Deep Penetrating Oil is rapidly changing the way automotive technicians use rustbreakers. Formulated to substantially outperform other rust penetrants – including brands sold both in the automotive channel and through mass-market retailers – Free All “eats” rust to quickly free even the most corroded fasteners. Free All is offered in several convenient sizes, including 12-, 6- and 1-ounce spray cans and 1-gallon container.

To nominate a fastener for the Free All “Rusted Nuts Hall of Fame,” send a digital picture, alone with name, business name and contact information, to [email protected].

Several governors across the country have declared April as Car Care Month in their respective states, urging their residents to be car care aware and perform the service necessary to ensure their vehicles are operating in a safe, efficient and clean manner.
The following governors have issued official state proclamations that April is Car Care Month: Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Gov. John A. Kitzhaber, M.D. of Oregon, Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina, Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Gov. Peter Shumlin of Vermont and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia.
“We want to thank these governors for officially proclaiming April as Car Care Month,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Car Care Month provides a unique opportunity for the auto care industry and the government to educate car owners on the importance of proper vehicle care. Motor vehicle safety continues to be a major focus for state legislatures and regulatory agencies across the country, so we commend each of the governors for making these important proclamations.”
Spring is the perfect time for motorists to make sure their vehicles are running reliably after a rough winter and before the summer driving season begins. Many independent repair shops and community organizations throughout the country will conduct car care events during April. These events have revealed that three out of four vehicles inspected are in need of some type of maintenance or repair.
The non-profit Car Care Council offers many free tools on its website to help consumers drive smart, save money and be more environmentally friendly, including the popular 60-page Car Care Guide and a custom service schedule and email reminder service.
“By following a service schedule and performing preventative vehicle maintenance, motorists can ensure that their vehicles are safe and dependable. Plus, auto care can help save money in many ways, including reducing fuel consumption and extending vehicle life,” continued White. “We encourage all car owners across the country to get their vehicles inspected this April.”
