Did my Wrangler with it last year and it's still there, although it doesn't see winter use, lol.

    Poor results with Krown, and really it's a lot of money at the end of the day. I'd think the thing to do imo is touchless car wash with underspray at least once a week in the winter. Probably cheaper than Krown, plus the car is clean.
    I rarely to never wash the car in the winter. All that salt that is on the car turns into a solution and finds its way deeper into those cracks and crevices where rust does its thing. I Krown every year in Bolton with no resulting rust or sags in seals. That's my 2 coppers.

    Just going by what I see in the repair trade, cars that are kept clean and undersprayed don't rust near as badly as those that are neglected and left to have the salt soak in and cause rust. I remember one customer I had who had a 2002 Grand Prix (you know, the cars that never have rockersi left)......well his were mint, could even lift the car by them, car was washed often, always the good auto wash with the underspray.

    When I was daily driving Ol Paint, I had it Krowned every year and I washed it on average three times a week during the winter months (I had one of those Petro Canada car wash cards). It has held up pretty well if you ask me.

    I will need to find a decent place around here to have mine under coated. Good thing is at work it gets pulled into the bay for 12hrs a day and gets hosed down religiously in the winter months.

    Had my mach 1 rust proofed today by Corrosion Free shop in Etobicoke. Excellent customer service. They gave me 10 dollar discount off my mustang and a friend's car for bringing in multiple vehicles.

    Corrosion Free in Etobicoke or Krown in Richmond Hill?

    2 cars and a truck so far. Who else?

    Rust Proofing.

    Been pretty happy with Krown so far.. we'll see how the door rubbers hold up.

    I spray mine every October and that shit is still pouring out come spring/summer. It must be doin the job.
