Rust proof treatment
 

Anybody using some rust proof treatment ?

On all my previous vehicules, I was going to Metropolitan Rustproofing with good results, even on my 96 Cherokee Country. Thinking about doing the same for my 2012 JK Sport.

What are you doing ?

I did the factory one...stupid waste of money. I was doing my diffs the other day and Noticed the under body was not even covered. I will be going to Krown rust control every fall now.

Big fan of local Ziebart, they do a touch up every year. Jeep's a 2011 so rust it not really a problem yet,
but had my 2004 GMC Sierra done day after she left the lot (with paint protection also) and she's still
pristen. If I find any spots of concern (aka trolley jack scrape), say the word and she's recoated at the next check up. Can't speak for any other Ziebart outlet, as their all independantly owned, but Sarnia's
guy is great to deal with.

I would like to get my jeep rust proofed.... my hubby tells me there's lots of surface rust under there.
Im not sure if that can be taken off before they spray it.
Jeep came from Quebec with only 13000km so Im not sure why all the surface rust.

I rustproof my vehicles yearly, but the best results are from the car wash. I buy a season pass at petrocanada which allows a car wash daily for 90 days.I start it right after Christmas. It makes a hugh difference on aluminum rims, and those notorious hinges on the jeeps.

Krown undercoating every fall..

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

Can you tell me how the top holds up (hardtop that is). This question is open to everyone.

Also, PetroCanada has seaons passes? going to look into that for my other car.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

We ran our 2010 JKU through the car wash every day during the winter of 2010,11 and 12. The kids only noticed a small damp spot after each wash in the back. It was a non issue. The jeep was immaculate after 3 winters when we sold it this past spring. The petroCanada seasons pass can be used on any car, just one per day. The odd time we were out with the minivan, it got the car wash instead.

I had mine done at Gordon's garage in Mtl (Krown) a few years ago they did a very good job at a reasonable price too, its dripped for some time after but that wasn't any problem. Last year I had a local fellow do it at his rad shop very good job there too at an affordable price. Might try another place this year that sprays something like a jelly.. but whatever or where ever you have it done make sure they spray into the frame too.
The hardtop isn't a problem, I clean the roof off before heading out if there was a heavy snow fall overnite to remove the weight, I've had a few times there was dampest or even frost on the inside roof area but it disappeared shortly after the heater started

I am a big supporter of Krown rustproofing. I've got an uncle that has a 1984 VW Jetta which he has Krowned yearly and the thing is still rust free. Their locked in prices are great as well. Our car, van and Jeep are done yearly.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

Since I used Metropolitan Rustproofing for the last 16 years with good results I was to go there, but I looked at Krown as well. Lots of good comments for Krown and APA reccomended.

There is a Krown dealer at 2km away from home, charging 15$ more than Metropolitan Rustproofing but it would cost me 15$ of gas going to Metropolitain.

So I booked at Krown for Monday, I will see if there is any différences in between both.

Coming back from my appointment, I'm pretty happy, they did a good job and their stuff is sticky, so it is not dropping, I can park already in my driveway.

They also gave me a can of silicone spray to apply on all my rubber seals.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

I was thinking about going to Krone to get mine done. But I was thinking do I really need it? I mean next year ya, but I just got it in March. Do I really need to start this year or will it be ok for one season?

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

I think the first year is the most important. Get the rustproofing into the crevices before the salt brine gets in there. This year, I bought an undercoating gun, and a 20 litre pail of rustproofing, and did it myself. I took the rear bumper off, sprayed up through the frame channels and cross members. Removed the tail lights, and soaked it inside the quarters (used the three foot wand) . Made sure to get all the steel brake lines etc. I didn't drill the doors, just sprayed them through the drip holes with the specific adapter for doing that. I used about half of the pail, and was really satisfied with the results.

Ya I don't have the space to setup shop, id have to goto krone or somwhere to get it done. I park in an underground. But I guess I should look into it.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

According to Rust check and Krown, it should be sprayed on in the summer because ideally, the heat should bond with their product for maximum adhesion.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

What type of rustproofing product did you use? I've used the rubberized stuff Canadian Tire sells but i find it peels off with time.I also used old motor oil and sprayed it on my 2003 TJ but it can get quite messy and i have to wait until spring to see if the effort was worth it

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

Just had mine done by Krown in Bowmanville, The owner Brian seemed to know what he was talking about and the service was really good.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

That's the important part, how concenciously they apply it. I liked the service I got from Krown here as well. He also did try to find already available holes to minimise the drilling. All in all he did drill holes in 6 places, how about you ?

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

Just got mine back today, had it Krowned. 3rd year running. 2010 Wrangler Sahara unlimited White/Black, no signs of rust yet! Worked as an auto sales rep for a few dealers, I always noticed the trades that had been Krown sealed seemed to be in great shape!:thumbsup:

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

Warning, Used motor oil can contain solvents and gas which could attack the seals and rubber components of your vehicle.:eyes:

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

First year can be important, you going to put it away for the winter and avoid all the fun in the snow? Krown will cost around $125.00. just had mine done for the 3rd yr since new. 2010 Wrang/Unl White/Blk. No Rust!:thumbsup:

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

I was told by my Krown rep. that they intentionately do not do the frame due to the fact that their product reacts with the rubber seals around the wind-shield. This was true with my 03 TJ which was taken to Rust check and eventually I had to do do some metal work/body work to fix up my frame which is not covered under either warranty.

Re: Rust proof treatment
 

I used amber no drip rustproofing by dominion sure seal. It creeps really well, and doesn't harden like the rubberized stuff from CT.
