Krown rustproofing holding up after 1 year and 1 winter?

[@antoinelachapelle3405]

As a Krown applicator, what's happening there is that rust is more porous than solid metal, so the oil eventually gets absorbed by the first layers of rust and sticks to the good metal underneath. Then, because it repels water, the water gets in between the oil layer and the rust flakes and they fall off. Some of them also fall off during application with the high pressure wand

[@itakda2]

Can u tell me, is krown kl73 oil flammable?

[@rasklaat2]

I have just sprayed the underside of my car with a mixture of an old engine oil and diesel fuel that i had laying around since my last oil change. We guna see how it works.

[@only1nobull]

As a sprayer for 6 years, I agree with everything you just said. These rusty trucks that came in, I spent waaaaay more time on. I used our high pressure 2 stage guns to first strip a frame and then use product when I finished. It made my job easier in the future and kept that dull look to the metal. His truck was very clearly sprayed, seeing as the colour of the rust was a dead giveaway.

I have been using Krown rustproofing since 1996 on my vehicles, none had any rust problems, it’s a great product, best to apply when the vehicle is new but even on the older vehicles it stops rust in its tracks, The worst thing you can do to your vehicle is that waxy or hard coating most dealers try to sell you which hardens over time and collects moisture.

[@dupeaccount1647]

I got my car done and it had never seen winter previously. I'm just a DIYer but doing a new exhaust (including headers) and plugs and wires on my car. It's still flawless under there. Just dirty and oily AF. Also blast it with extra cans of Krown too. Especially since you have a lift! If you have Krown do yours in Spring, blast it yourself right before winter.

One winter and looks good,going to make an appt for July for second coat

[@666dynomax]

i do both of my vehicles every July. Whenever I change the oil or grease the pickup I always take a can of fluid film, or if i have one, a can of rustcheck/krown with me and touch up spots that look dry or where product has disappeared. saw the mate to one of my vehicles for sale similar mileage, same year, and stopped to look at it just for fun, was BLOWN AWAY, the rust underneath the other one compared to mine. Under my 7 year old toyota was almost like new and nicely built up rustproofing everywhere... the other similar used one was over 80% covered in surface rust... in my estimate that car would have been looking at body work or perhaps even a new subframe within 3-4 years... i'd say rustproofing is worth it every time... best from new, but even with a used vehicle, do it, and do it every year, it won't pay for itself in the first 5 years but it will if you're keeping the vehicle.

[@aeyb701]

I agree. It stops rust from forming on a new vehicle, or arrests it if present on a used one, in my experience over the last three decades. Get it done in spring, not fall, the local Krown guy told me. Warm temps help it penetrate further, faster.

[@666dynomax]

my krown guy says mid summer... i do it when i'm taking summer vacation and take both vehicles to the lake and let them drip and run all they want for 2-3 weeks... they're covered in dust and disgusting on outside after the stuff runs out of every crevice lol works and love it

[@romelarceno8959]

So summer is the best time it warm it penetrates to the metal better.

[@snakeplisken4119]

@@666dynomax so it gets into the lake

[@uhhTabby]

If you park in a heated garage every night or somewhere where the snow melts every night, you absolutely want it done in the fall so the snow isn’t melting and creating rust the whole winter. Only spray in the spring if you park outside in the winter and the snow doesn’t get a chance to melt

[@ewalddroidworks]

Great videos. I just had my Ram Bighorn done at the same place in Stanly NY. I drove and hour to get there but it was worth it. I bought the touch up cans too. Thanks for the great video.

Well worth the cost. Thanks Mike, I was curious and I think you right. It looks like the rest is at rest.

i would do that to our car but the rust is all that holds it together lol . like the dew rag mike it looks great on you buddy . i should get one lol . thanks for stopping in last night i know it was a exciting premiere lol . i remember when you had it done if it is the same truck . it was a pretty cool process . good luck with it buddy . tell helga i said hi .

[@SamCyanide]

About to get this done on my 2015 f150 with the aluminum body and steel frame. it doesn't really have any rust on it yet besides at some of the joints there's a little bit of surface stuff because I wash it constantly throughout the winter including the underbody but I want to see how this krown stuff works. I'm not going to have them do the holes in the body because since it's not steel it won't rust like that, aluminum oxidizes but it doesn't really fall apart in chunks like this deal does

[@bob57786]

I would just do the frame

[@EXOVCDS]

Did you protect the Volt's & the Camaro? Should post an underside of them... and a follow-up in 3 to 5 years.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

+Thomas EXOVCDS no I did not. They all see very little winter driving!

[@EXOVCDS]

@@TheDisgruntledMechanic Of course... makes more sense to not use them in the winter. =)

[@Blazer02LS]

The biggest thing for me is that it gets inside the body seams and panels where the rust hides and stops it there. Did have an issue with the fact that someone had this Journey "undercoated" and a lot of it is flaking off. I'm hoping to get it up in the air outside and going over the chassis with a high pressure washer to blow all that crud off, then I'll get it re-Krowned. My thinking is the same, if it allows me to keep the thing for 2-3 more years without a lot of rust it will have done it's job.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Wish I would have started the process sooner for sure!

[@marclayman8799]

Any updates? How is this holding up and has it worked for you?

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I think it has slowed the rust down but with the rust it already had it is sorta had to tell. wish I could tell you more.

I am happy with Krown. I would go that route again!

Mike I have a undercoating gun and it's so easy for you to spray it yourself since you have a hoist . 1 gallon of undercoating should do it all.

Krown is the only true rust proofing method at least here in Ontario. I heard of Rust Check is good but I don’t know much about them. The only thing I want to say to anyone that is considering any kind of treatment is do not go with either Honda or Toyota rust proofing. They are actually worst for your vehicles especially the Honda rustproofing. They are crooks, the treatment actually traps moisture in and vehicles will rot inside out. Trust me, I am speaking out of experience. I wished that I had treated Krown proofing on all my cars in the last 3 decades.

[@starcrownmoulding7456]

Dont recommend do rust proofing Toyota?

[@bradleysteeves7891]

Rust check been around for 50 years works great if you have a good person applying it it. They used to take an hour to do it. Now anout 30 minutes.

You are right, honda uses that tar one which is really bad.
