As for the Oiling process, I assume it's almost like a rubbery tar substance. If that were the case then yes I do believe they Oiled rather than spray a rust inhibitor. There is a heavy petroleum product smell coming off of the coating so it does make sense. The car was not Ziebarted though. Z-One ceased to be a Ziebart franchisee after the Ziebart system was shown to be flawed.
This coating will have to be inspected yearly and reapplied as needed. These were their instructions. They include a warranty system too in case the coating has any sort of failure.

Look it up and then tell me how your claim is possible!!!! Since you got this completely WRONG, your eyewitness accounts of other 4th Gen rust are probably as equally wrong as well.

Excuse me for being offended by your tone in 'clarifying' a mistake of mine.
After careful inspection and also analyzing of my billing sheet.
You are CORRECT Captain Awesome.
You have my apologies. It seems the only metal on the car would be those rocker panels and rear quarters. Essentially the primary frame of the car. It is actually astounding how much SMC/Rubberized Plastic, and composite materials are in this car. I had assumed from the feel and acoustic qualities of the actual door skin that I was dealing with a metal shell that served as a monocoque system when in fact it was the SMC system used in the plastic fantastic Corvette.
I DID NOT KNOW THIS! I have never had a chance to study a 4th gen up close enough to learn these things.
So in the end I may have been looking at simple staining of the paint due to the car being.. white? Have you seen how easy iron in water can stain a white car? I have, and you'd swear there was rust involved.
The doors were
not coated as it seemed even the shop found out about the SMC and did not coat it.
Original price plus shop fees and taxes only included the underbody.
The door skins were not sprayed.
