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.

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

In this imperfect world, oily dust is better than rust.

Getting my new pickup done in Athens, Pa in two weeks. Took my jeep off the road, 135k and rusted out, wouldn't pass inspection. Going to start before the first snow, I hope. Thanks for the video!!

I think it's working on your truck Mike, I would keep getting it sprayed. Excellent content as always!

[diydarkmatter]

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 .

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.

[jimthecarguy]

Looks like it work very good. Being in the northeast you can for sure use it.

[dupeaccount]

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.

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.

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

[aeyb]

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.

[BiggDoggLeather]

Seems like a good investment nice to see follow up I've often wondered how it will hold up.

[EXOVCDS]

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

[scottpearsontoolsmore]

Great video thanks brother. Looks pretty good to me. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother.
I'm curious how the new Fords are going to be. I have one half aluminum and half steel.

[ziggassedup]

I feel for you guys who have to deal with salty roads.

[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

[ericbrock]

Are your other cars Krown'd? Congrats on 10k subs!

[marclayman]

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

[lonwillis]

Mike how are ya! Happy to see you again! I bought a new car yesterday 2019 Subaru Forester. Take Care !
