A couple questions I didn't cover in the video - Yes, you can opt out of the drilled access holes, but you'd be missing out on the most important long-term benefit of this rust proofing (and the Krown warranty www.krown.com/en/warranty/). The guys at Daily Motor were parting out a few cars this summer and I'm kicking myself for not taking photos of all the rust inside the doors, behind the fenders, etc. These were Michigan-driven cars that were rotting extensively from the inside out but still ran and drove great. You can't see a lot of this happening until it's too late, but the areas that are sprayed through these access holes are just as important as the underside, suspension components, etc. The holes wouldn't void any manufacturer "warranty" unless they become a source of rust, but Krown treats them and the rubber caps with a heavier compound to ensure they don't rust. Also since these holes are drilled behind door seals, trunk seals, etc, they don't see much moisture or exposure to the elements. Hope that helps!

My Ontario car is nearly 18 years old. It gets taken to Krown every year and I apply one coat of high quality paste wax before winter. It remains rust free. I NEVER wash it in the winter as car washes are too expensive and it would inevitably be dirty within hours. It will get a good cleaning in the spring and come out looking as good as it did the day it left the factory. 😁

@@rightlanehog3151 you are delusional. An 18year old car in Ontario most definitely has some rust if you drive it during Nov-March.

I have four cars in Michigan that I’ve had Krown applied to, and all remain rust-free after 4-29years of Salt Belt driving; mileages between 60K and 335K miles. Getting vehicles treated annually with Krown preserves their structural integrity, and then the car’s lifespan is only limited by the maintenance & durability of its major components (engine, transmission, final drive, etc.), and its utility in meeting your transportation needs. Highly recommend-and for folks in the lower peninsula of Michigan, Todd Brown’s Krown shop in Croswell, MI, does very thorough, effective, and quick work.

My brother has recently bought a 2005 Subaru Forester XT just because it was too good offer to pass on. He would like to sell it to me since he knows I would kill for a car like that. It was previously owned by an old lady who hasn't drove it that much. The problem is that we imported the car from Sweden and just like many old japanese cars, it has rust on rocker panels and also rear fenders since it has plastic fender flares bolted on. It only seems to be a surface corrosion so sanding a repainting should fix it but I'm interested in daily driving it and as usual, we use very aggressive salt on roads in Slovakia. I was thinking about protecting the bottom of the car with rubber coating but just like you said, I'm also afraid that instead of protecting the metals, it would trap salt and moisture above the coating. What type of rust protection would you recommend for such an old car?

@andrewjohnson5161 Год назад

My question for this kind of treatment (or maybe something like DIY fluid film?) is whether after a handful of years, the "preserved" undercarriage ever could get back to looking factory fresh? I've got an older southern Z3 coupe that has seen no rust, but I'd love to be able to drive it in the winter without fear of it wasting away in no time... could it "graduate" to a summer-only / winter garage queen later on down the road, or would it always have remnants/signs of coating?

Yeah, a good undercarriage wash and scrub would bring it back, and if you wanted to go all out - dry ice cleaning!

@4R8YnTH3CH33F Год назад

@tedjohnson64 Год назад

I’m surprised that rust is still an issue with modern cars, I thought they dipped all the chassis components into a chemical bath at the factory? Also I’d be very concerned with them drilling holes and spraying sight unseen. The electric cables running through there are (supposed to be) sealed, but they weren’t designed to be resistant to an oil mist being sprayed in there. Seems like there’s a significant potential for it making it’s way into an electrical connector and shorting a connection.

@K03sport Год назад

...the dipping and treatment at the factory helps delay the corrosion process, but does not prevent it 100%. Since rust is a chemical/electrical process, you need materials that do not create that electeon transfer when in contact with water/sodium chloride - aluminum, titanium, fiberglass, carbon fiber, plastic, etc. Even stainless steel will rust over a period of time. The dipping provides a barrier, much like paint, but barriers have limits.

@davidr6865 Год назад

So they spray the weather seals to avoid contact with krown, but then they spray the cv boots and bushings? Wouldn’t that make them swell? Am I missing something?

@K03sport Год назад

Different rubber perhaps? Plus weather seals have tiny holes in them to allow for better compression. CV boots don't need to compress.

@vido4x4 Год назад

I did a lot of researching of products prior to coating my cars. I found that WoolWax is the best product out there. Stay away from rubberized products which harden after they are sprayed on. They can chip, then moisture can seep in between the shell the product forms and the frame. The product in this video looks very thin (like fluid film) and that’s probably why @TheTopher stated it drips onto his driveway. WoolWax is very thick so this won’t happen. WoolWax has the consistency of a heavy weight motor oil which is what old mechanics used before modern undercoatings were available.

A ceramic coating typically goes on the paint to protect the clear coat and make the car easier to wash, while rustproofing goes on the parts of the car that you can’t see. I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two products as they serve different purposes. What do you mean by an oil-bonded windscreen?

That's a good question - if you have a location nearby you can take it there and they'll check it out. I'm not sure if they'll remove any existing rust, might have to do that yourself or take it elsewhere, but it can't hurt to get it coated and at least preserve what's there.

Krown will slow rust by about 90-95%

Just bought a new GR86 and I live in central Indiana. While we don't see as much snow as Michigan, we still get some, which means salt. Had a FJ Cruiser before my GR86, and with that being my first car, I didn't have the money to get an undercoating professionally done. With the GR, I put PPF on the front end and ceramic coated everything I could. Would the film spray make it "gross" to work on? I want to do some suspension work and eventually track it in the spring, but don't want all of the gross film-like tackiness that comes with it.

It’s not too bad once it dries out after a couple months. I’d take getting my hands a bit dirty over fighting rust and corrosion any day.

Any good places in Long Island, NY that do this?

@Affalterbach1967 Год назад

You should collab with @savagegeese who can provide "this pile is all rusted out" soundbites and under the Bendpak[tm] videography.

@TheTopher Год назад

That would make a fun comparison video!

Is there an option to just get the bottom of the car coated? I don't really want holes drilled into my door jambs.

@TheTopher Год назад

Oh yeah, for sure. I’d recommend getting the full treatment but you’re welcome to request that.

@rightlanehog3151 Год назад

My car has been to Krown for 18 annual applications. There are no issues that arise from drilling the door jambs or anywhere else. As a matter of fact, applying the product in hard to reach places is fundamental to the whole process.

@@ErikTS sweet, had tons of Saabs in my family 9-5s, 9-3s. Currently driving a 08 9-3 aero SportCombi. I like the V6 but much prefer the way the 2.3 9-5s shift, feels a bit more solid.

After they drill the holes, do they plug the holes?

Yep

Every time I watch a Matt’s off-road recovery video where they’re working on something in the shop, my brain goes “don’t they need to paint/coat that?” Oh wait, it won’t rust out there 😂

@GTTClan Год назад

KROWN isn't for everyone... In fact, I'd rate it one of the worst places for rust proofing here in Canada. The employees scratched my windshield and the oil is constantly dripping out of the door. For a new BRZ or any new car, use undercoating sealant instead. No dripping and no messy oil.

@Josifer4GAppFire Год назад

you have to do it once a year? or is it lifetime?

@landon5104 Год назад

Every year

@nickval5962 Год назад

I take any car I drive in the winter to get Corrosion-free rust-proofing as opposed to Krown. I just never liked the idea of drilling holes in the body, on top of that, Krowns formula is known to rot rubber seals over time.

It seems like a pretty undemanding job. They could have really taken off the wheels, wheel arch liners, and the lower covers, and they could have masked the brakes and the things that don't need to be blown.

@mikepawlikguitar 9 месяцев назад

I just got Krown done - but what about the drill sites on painted surfaces? That sheet metal has primer, a base coat, and then a nice thick layer of clear coat to protect the sheet metal from rusting. Since Krown drills holes, that sheet metal is now going to be exposed to the environment. I'm worried that the drill sites, ironically, will be the first ones to rot.

@TheTopher 9 месяцев назад

They won’t rust - they apply a special silicone in the rubber seal, there’s krown product in there too, and where they drill is usually behind sealed doors/trunk lids, etc that don’t see moisture

@@TheTopher that makes sense thanks dude! I did see your comment above a little too late I suppose. Super happy to have had it done though 🤙
