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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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 ?

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 ?
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!
