I'm a huge fan of Fluid Film. Looks very similar to Krown. I live in Ohio so we get a good amount of salt in the winters but definitely not as bad as your area. Fluid film has worked very well on my vehicle. I get it in the 5 gallon buckets and spray it with their pneumatic sprayer and works very well and goes a lot farther than the aerosol can does.

I got a 5 gallon as well and started spraying everything as well, worried about the vegetable-based product on rubber, and did accidently on my Mercedes bladder air ride shocks, hence why I watched this video, hoping to alleviate concerns... its non toxic , yet gives me a bit of a skin rash if I get it on my arms or stomach...

Old mechanic I knew used to put his cars on the lift and give them a spray with used engine oil just before winter. My friend bought a MK 1 Escort (I'm in the UK). So my friend puts it up on the lift, no rust and the original paint was still there, the car was 30 years old. My friend is a mechanic too, ended up buying the guys business from him when he retired, then invited him back as and when needed just as a consultant, that guy had forgotten more than most people ever learn.

Eric it would b nice to see you show us where to spray to get in rocker panels etc without holes in the body. Pulling off scuff garnishes, interior panels and truck carpeting to get at the hidden areas to spray in those areas where holes are usually drilled. Kinda like a DIY if u go buy 6 cans and apply without drilling holes. Also straddling a ditch with your car makes it easy to spray brakes and fuel lines etc.

From the owner of a 35 year old toyota that has lived in the southwestern ontario rust belt for the vast majority of its life, let me tell you I won’t buy vehicles from here that haven’t been oiled. My truck has been coated and recoated with krown and the stuff works, so does rust check. I don’t like the wax products however and black asphalt products in most cases are terrible unless just used in metal wheel wheels and not for rust prevention. oiling works and my old truck is a testimony to that, most cruisers are long gone from my area

To avoid the unexpected, be sure to clean off and spray both of your gnarly battery terminals and connectors, and in your N.Y. climate change out the battery every three years. If you don’t change your truck’s battery that often, at least change Mrs. O’s vehicle’s battery every three years. The only thing worse than trying to jump off your own truck in a blizzard is having to go out into that blizzard and rescue your wife when her car won’t start.

My rear exhaust hanger rusted out and my exhaust system fell onto the road while I was driving. Rust really is a problem in Canada. Then, I bought a Honda and paid for lifetime rust protection from the dealer. Problem is that the dealer refused to rust protect my car each year when I brought it to them to honour the rust protection package they sold me when I bought the car. So, now I have learned. Don't buy the dealer rust proofing package - just buy the cans at the store and spray it yourself each year.

Am I the only one who feels that salting roads is not only costing the states and people personally more on top of harming the environment rather than people having snow tires, learning how to drive in bad weather and just plowing? Salting roads causes insane amounts of salt to enter freshwater streams and lakes, affecting wildlife as well as costing vehicle owners millions of dollars in repairs due to premature corrosion and more extensive labor due to it. Not to mention how much is spent on buying it. Honestly, I think it's just dumb. Especially since brake lines typically let go.... But it's ok. We don't need to stop. Gotta make money for those big conglomerates!!! While you pay for your commute and vehicle maintenance.

Eric, I've Krowned many of my cars and the only thing that bothers me is that sometimes they drill holes unnecessarily. For example, if you look at the hole they drilled into the top of your rockers - there's a plastic kick plate just inches away - if you remove that, you'll find several factory holes where they could have sprayed the product into. There are probably large rubber grommets on the bottoms of the rockers as well.

I have had this liquid electro-chemical rust inhibitor spray applied to all of my cars _annually_ since 1987. In Canada Rust Check and Krown are both available. They are competitors with same drill / spray process and electro-chemical rust inhibitor. Negatives: dust and dirt build up, and after 10 to 20 years, the door seals will become spongy. That is all. Positives: Nothing will _ever_ rust if the chemical is re-applied annually, competently and thoroughly. Electrical connectors are protected, window regulators and locks are protected from rust and lubed. Parking brake cables and brake lines are protected from rust. Suspension parts are protected from rust. Fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws) never rust and seize. What sold me on this was the 1976 Dodge Aspen I got in 1987 which after 11 years, had ZERO rust... an Aspen! The first owner had religiously taken it to Rust Check since the late 1970s, and I learned how electro-chemical rust inhibitors are FAR different than oil or undercoating, so I continued annually. The Aspen is now 41 years old and still has no rust... body... undercarriage... brake lines... original gas tank... leaf springs... torsion bars. Every other car I have owned goes to Rust Check annually. It is the best bang for the buck maintenance you can do for your car if it is in a humid environment. The dirt film under the hood and (eventual) sponginess of door and hood seals is irrelevant to me compared with the benefits.

@@DJS100 Guess you didn't read what I wrote about a (now) 45 year old car that has zero rust, with annual Rust Check application. Also have a 1993 Dodge Caravan with 570,000 km and 1986 Pontiac Parisienne. Zero rust, not even on a emergency brake cable or suspension component. Obviously the shop you were going to was *_useless._* Whether Rust Check or Krown, the chemical inhibitor is only as good as the shop that applies it !

I literally almost got into a fight with the employees at 2 different locations when I simply asked that they do NOT drill the doors and just do an undercoating spray of it. I'm just interested in getting the undercoating done as the doors of my car already have cavity wax in it and any other product applied in there would just destroy it. I kept getting the runaround from them. I offered to pay the full amount despite them using less product because I only want the underbody done but they keep insisting on drilling. Why are they so damn adamant on drilling freakin' holes?

If you don't want them to drill on your truck that your decision they should respect that . But trust me you want them to drill and spray and put the In

As a long time Krown user I can say it works well to preserve a car especially if applied to a new car. The only minor complaints I have are that certain rubber gaskets tend to stretch over many years of application, you still need to keep an eye on door dings and rock chips, and how greasy you get working on a krowned vehicle. Best applied in the heat of the summer as it will seep and creep better.

It would be very informative if you could take a bare piece of steal, say a 2x4 sheet, which has a large surface area, spray it with Krown rust-proofing, and dunk it in a 20% water-salt solution, check the results regularly too see if it actually protects the metal from corrosion?
@GYPSY400

I've done that.. Krown does nothing to protect the metal. Fluid film and Honey Goo work very well.

Pre-weighed corrosion coupons are what are typically used, and these might be 2" x 6". A larger surface will not change the rate of corrosion.

@@GYPSY400 I did a crude test a while back and Fluid Film was a very impressive product. Krown and Rust Check did work but not as good as Fluid Film. The only problem I can see with Fluid Film is that it doesn't seem to creep into seams. I also have a jug of Corrosion Free that is very much like Fluid Film. Canadian Tire sprays it and it's a once every 18 month application as apposed to every 12 months.

I have a 4"x 8" .065 thick mild steel coupon screwed to my power pole outside. Coated half with Woolwax and left half bare. I spray a saltwater solution on it at least once a week. Over a year and the Woolwax coated side looks new and shiny, the bare side is total rust.

I prefer Rustcheck. It's less "runny", stays longer and seems to penetrate really well. I bought a can and tested it: I released one of the bolts on my pole-mounted outdoor heater. Just half a turn (180 degrees). You couldn't even tell I unbolted it. It was still too strong to release it by hand. Then I sprayed Rust-Check on it. Came back at spring-time, wiped everything from the outside and released the bolt completely. To my surprise, the unexposed part was fully covered with it.

Hey Eric, great video, hope u see my comment. I have a '01 Explorer Limited wich i bough for $3300 3 yrs ago. It was well looked after and i look after them too, but as u know they are prone to rust, like around the gas lid door, dog legs and tailgate. This was just starting to rust. yrs ago i was working with an old guy at a sawmill and he had a '79 F 150 that was 10 yrs old at the time and had no rust. I asked him why and he said he had a guy spray the truck with his used motor oil, so i thought why not with mine. i spray the tailgate drain holes, rockers underneith and take the ''Explorer'' step plate plastic piece off all 4 doors and spray in their and also the steel rear bumper. I do this fall and spring and so far no rust. We have a pressurized container at work that we use for wax oil for bodyshop cars not to rust, i just switch it for m oil. Sorry Eric for the long message, keep up the good work, Bill Mason.

I have so far been rather lucky and happy with Valvoline Tectyl Underbody Coating Stuff. It smells like it's an oil based. It's definitely not black but holds good to the frame. Been using it now for 4 years on my S10 Blazer and I just touch up every year but so far so good. But definitely look forward to the spring video when you show us your truck again!

I used to apply The black undercoat to me is for asthetics only. Within a year of driving all the dirt and debris literally sandblasts it off. Sooo really it has to he applied yearly or so the spray coating in your body is pretty much a grease and should last the life or the vehicle
