How to Prevent Rust & Corrosion on Your Car - Why I use Krown Rust Control 

A lot of you have been asking about what I use to rust proof my vehicles here in Michigan - here it is. I’ve been taking my 2012 GX 460 to Krown for the last 3 winters and the underbody looks the same as the day I bought it. This stuff works! We’ll report back as to how well the CX-30 holds up to a winter of salt in a few months. You can learn more about Krown and find a location near you at www.krown.com/en/ Also check out their official instagram account here: instagram.com/krownrustprotection/

He has a face!!! I thought it was just a body with a Gopro for a head

First time I’ve seen ur face lol

Excellent video. Krown 100% definitely works! My old 2004 Honda Pilot with 280,000 miles has zero rust.

This is a very instructive video. I have had 16 annual Krown applications and my car remains rust free in its 16th very salty Canadian winter. Beyond the annual visit to Krown, the car is treated to a coat of paste wax every Fall and it gets parked in the garage every night. My car is rarely washed in the winter as slushy streets will just make it dirty all over again. When it does get cleaned up in the Spring it looks as good as new. Quite importantly the franchise owner emphasized the fact your brake and fuel lines as well as suspension components are thoroughly protected by Krown. If you are worried about the dripping that lasts for a couple of days after the treatment, just buy a cheap sheet of plastic at the building supply store and park on top of it until the dripping stops. At the price of around $120 per year this body maintenance is an excellent value.

Glad we are on west coast cause rust is the worst

I've always appreciated the production quality and informative nature of your videos. This one was especially cool and thank you for sharing

Krown is great. My dad actually rust-proofed our 2006 Honda Odyssey a few years ago, and it's held our van very well since then. Krown has really held our van together very well. I definitely recommend it for your vehicle, if you are planning on owning it long term.

Just got my truck Krowned last month after doing about 3 months of research on the best rustproofing product! The combo of the warranty as well as the professional application was a winning duo for me.

First time see your face. Thank you so much for bring those clear and professional video for us. 🙏

You have my dream job my guy! Great work some useful advice!!!! I please do more content on cool stuff like this!

As a detailing oriented car enthusiast, 5:37 is killing me.

Everyone in Michigan & Salt States should see this Video.

Great video, I live in Canada and KROWN is a MUST for the road salt that we have here. In my 15 yrs of experience Krown is extremely effective and inexpensive compared to what stealerships charge for their junk.

Just did my Raptor because of your last video!

Good vid bud!

Awesome video bro!!:D

Totally agree with Krown, Topher. It was painful to have it done on my '24 Mazda 3, but here in Ontario, it's a necessary evil so to speak haha. Great video mate

Great video that guy nicely explained a lot

My mom got her Volvo XC70 rust proofed again this year, it has 260k miles and it looks new honestly. She offered to get my Crown Vic done as my Christmas gift, I couldn't say no. Then when I go to sell it, it should be in good shape!

man i didnt expect u looked liked this ur voice damn surprised af

Awesome man. Im in SE michigan aswell and I use cosmoline rp342. Very similar, except i have to do it myself, which is a horrible job but hey, I know its worth it.

I got my 2020 mazda 3 krowned a couple weeks ago (I got the car in feburary), and same as you, there was just a bit of rust starting on some suspension components. My only worry is that where the krown shop I did it at had a younger guy apply it, I just hope he did a good job. It's hard to tell when I look under because it looks so dry underneath 😅 but I guess I'll find out in the spring. I'm sure I'm not his first customer, so hopefully he did good

Great thing I don't have to worry about this as a Floridian, instead I just suffer with shit drivers daily.

Wow I can't imagine drilling holes into a brand new car.

Good to know there is a service out there that does this kind of rust proofing. I wonder how it compares to like Ziebarts.

Krown is amazing. All my vehicles get it completed yearly.

Great video! I'm sold on Krown when I get my next vehicle. Though I'm thoroughly SHOCKED that there isn't a single Krown location in Southern New England!

I have had my cars treated with Krown for years and have found it to work as advertised! Zero rust! Just remember to have it retreated every year.

I'm in Toronto Ontario Canada and I bought a used 2018 Camry Hybrid SE this past summer and it has Krown rustproofing in its CarFax since new. I guess I have to keep up on it now yearly lol

I feel like theTopher should have more subs!?

I’m so glad that we don’t have to deal with this in Denver. I couldn’t deal with this

You look like my sophomore year Algebra II teacher

Im from an island nation and spraying the undercarriage of a vehicle with an oil based solution is quite common and some people get it done as part of a "full service". The ocean air is really bad for cars.

It was weird and interesting for me to watch, in Quebec most anti-rust shops don't drill any holes and their stuff is totally effective thru the years.

Topher, this is kind of off topic, but is there any reason you chose the CX-30 over the CX-5? I've got a 2019 Civic Si that I've never been impressed with, and have been thinking of it off on a CX-5 Carbon AWD Turbo, Grand Touring Reserve, or Signature, mainly because they are Japanese made.

Ceramic coatings great too

Interesting, I always wondered if you did some kind of rustproofing process. I’m leaning towards Fluid Film since so many reviews on RU-vid claim Krown isn’t nearly as effective. Thanks for the upload!

So the CX-30 is your new daily car? What made you choose it?

Oh, that black hoodie staff spraying oil wear no mask?

Drilling more than 1 hole on the quarter panel is considered structural damage/alteration per NAAA. Doesn't mean much if you are going to keep a vehicle for a long time, but it would definitely impact appraisal value on a newer car.

Hey man, I plan on buying a Mazda 3, but since it is lower than the CX 30, that you have here, will it rust easier because the the 3 is lower and may get grounded in snow, salt etc. ???

My family used to own a CX-5 and after an accident downsized to a CX-3. How do you like the size of the CX-30? I found the CX-3 too small.

no one mentions the rubber gaskets from getting swollen. my door weather stripping has fallen away due to this product.

don’t really get a lot of rust in Colorado though :p

Did you get the turbo engine or the normal aspirated engine?

I'm glad that I don't live anywhere near to the rust belt, can't imagine having to deal with your car rusting prematurely due to the environment that your in.

do they remove the panels under the mazdas before spraying or do they only spray over the panels?

Whoops. I have a Mazda6 that I bought new last summer and I haven't rustproofed it. Are modern Mazda's susceptible to rust?

What about carwashes during winter for vehicle with rustproofing? Do you think we should rinse the undercarriage or a simply exterior wash should be OK? Asking to see if undercarriage wash would actually wash away the rustproofing applied underneath

Most new car dealerships in Toronto stopped selling these rust proofing for a couple of years even our roads have tons of salt in winter.

Damn that’s not as expensive as I thought it would be

Should show before and after pictures .... NEW THEN ONE YEAR 2 YEARS UP ON A LIFT so we can see the real deal . Thanks for the vid.

Do you know if they took down the sound deadening and plastic panels to spray under them?

Did they put the holes in the same spot on all 4 doors? if not that would drive me crazy

Those holes are similar to paint less dent removal holes, doesn’t that affect trade in/ resale value?

Do they remove the under cover or they just spray through spaces?

Is it helpful on a car that is showing rust bubbles at the bottom of the doors?

Bazillions comments about theTopher's look. None about the girls working around cloudy mists of oil without respirators and goggles.

if it were me, I'd probably tell him to wait with the drilling and would step outside facing the opposite way, put earphones on and play some loud music haha

Is this your very own CX-30?

Can you get the service without drilling holes? I’m just not cool with that part.

All this time. This the first time I’ve seen you😂

How does this work on vehicles with a small stage of beginning rust starting

The comments about drilling is just ignorance. I was the same but it makes a gigantic difference in staving off rust. Plain and simple. You think your doing justice to your new car by doing nothing. Those folks are replacing parts in 3 years. Warranty won’t save you. The oil is a lot like mineral oil in terms of solvency. After a couple of rainfalls, it washes away from the driveway.

Can you spray a hybrid Toyota with this product?

You should try and do a partnership with them w/ a NA or NB miata, those things are the biggest rust magnets ive ever seen, definetely be a huge advertisement if it worked on one of those.

Curious on what they do with cars that already have rust build up.

I love using Krown up in Ontario with our salty roads. The only problem I have is they cycle through workers all the time and they don’t care half the time as they get minimum wage.

Is this your personal car that you are having this process dome to ?

5:38 They wash the car with a brush? That is not really good for the paint.

You lost me when he started drilling holes!

Can’t believe they don’t have a location near Chicago. Closest one is 3.5 hrs. All of our vehicles around here are covered in rust and I would definitely get the service done to some of my vehicles if they had one.

My Cruze has been outside driving in the snow and salt for 6 years and it has 0 rust without rustproofing. Was tempted to do this on my 2020 accord but the place around me charged 600-800 to have it rust proofed and I declined. I’ll just drive a winter car lol

Uniglass plus Ziebart offers a Dripless oil and is a better product overall

I want to get this done but I don't want any holes drilled. Rather just want it under coated and obviously trunk.

My first car I purchased had rust damage in all the wheel wells. They were covered up by aftermarket body panels (I think that's what they're call) Very embarrassing that I didn't have help with that purchase. *ahem* dad.

It's hard to watch them drill holes in the body panels.

Did you get free rust proofing for your 4Runner when you do advertisement for them?

You should have asked him his opinion on which brands have the best rust proofing from the factory. And damn do you look good with a beard. 🤤

What product they using?

I know body panels CAN rust, eventually... But isn't that usually because of paint chips? Drilling holes all over your car to apply something that only protects it for 14 months, during which I doubt any amount of rusting would happen anyway, seems crazy to me. I do get the underside of the car, the added longevity of all the suspension parts, and less rust to deal with whenever anything is worked on would be nice.

5:37 are they seriously using broom brushes on the car? They're doing it on the paint as well in the back, installing swirl marks and micro marring. Absolutely unprofessional.

What is the different compare to a permanent rustproofing

No salt in Oregon but im planning to move

Interesting

Thankfully we don’t have to worry about doing this in Florida lol

Hi Chris

I have a device installed on my Mazda3 that gives an electric current to change the property of the metal. After one winter I only see some very minor surface rust on the bottom frame (not the body).

Do you have to rush proof your car annually?

Not the brush on your brand new paint :((((. I suppose it's worth it if you don't have to worry about rust.

Before buying new car check rust test on the website of the Swedish magazine Vi Bilägare.

What's your location please

The "krown" of skin care is a daily sunscreen and moisturizer.

When they drill the holes and spray inside, aren’t they spraying a bunch of electrical components..? Also, the weather seals swelling is more of an issue than they’re admitting, plenty of forums talk about this.

Should the techs not be wearing googles while spraying up?

I would do this but not drill holes

Honda Owners Beware....This Krown rustproofing will devastate your rubber mouldings around the door/lights/hoods. The rubber componets on our Honda 2016 were crap after deforming from 1 week after application. Imagine, our car was only 4 days old from our dealershp (new) when I had Krown oil rustproof our car. I brought our car back to the Krown shop and he said that usually does not happen after 1 week. He further stated that he would replace them after 1 year because he wanted the Krown to stop migrating. True to his word, he did replace (pay Honda) all affected rubber componets that were destroyed by his rust proofing. However, after another 5 months, the rustproofing was still migrating and destroyed the replaced rubber trim along the 4 doors. Today, this minute...I have deformed expanded rubbers seals along the doors and they would cost $250 at my expense to redo them. The internet is full of consumer reports (including mine) that Krown will destroy your rubber componets on a Honda (and other makers) Up to you but you have been warned. As far as rust is concerned...well there is none, but I then got Corrosion Free rust proofing because why would I redo my car with Krown again knowing it destroys rubber componets. I am not trying to bash Krown, but telling you my true experience and asking you to review other peoples experience that have a Honda and Krown. One other person even said that where they went went at Krown they Silicon sprayed their rubber componets first.

interesting

@5:28 - TheTopher's face reveal, bottom right. Probably.
