Re: undercoating
 

From what I've seen, Krown is a good way to go.
It has to be applied every year though.
Soon after I got my Jeep Krowned I saw an old
K car station wagon with the proud owner
saying he Krowned it every year with no body work done, ever!
K cars have disappeared years ago from salt
around here. I was impressed.

Sounds too cheap to be true... Underbody coating is not enough, I have
http://www.dinitrol.com/
TuffKote Dinol handling in WJ. In short program consists of putting
anti-corrosion into underbody as well as cavities below window line (for
example inside door, between water block plastic and sheet metal).
Authorized shops are, in northern europe, under ISO9001 (one can state
ISO9001 as 'we have no quality' in paper an fill spec :-). And decent
shop shows you the sematics and drawings what materials and where in
your vehicle these are put. Drawback is that you have to either suffer
for odd aromatic carbon combound odor for a week or keep the vehicle
couple of days all doors open in well ventilated garage. Another
drawback is price: roughly 1KEUR for anti-corrosion handling in Finland.


This was more detailed anti-corrosion program than the shaky details
dealer gave upon WJ purchase for DCX approved handling. And a bit better
than they place to northern europe models be default in Graz factory.

This adds to damage: chips to wheel well paint, underbody zinc, hood,
doors etc. It just takes a bit more time and corrosion is there.

Again: this depends on anti-corrosion handling. Mine did not remove
factory warranty (what was left of it), but adds an extra one (this was
with converted USA/European DCX warranty).

Self apply: How well you can wash the underbody from dirt and salt
alreday there, if you get delivery of the vehicle in winter? If not done
properly, you just create ideal enviromnent for corrosion to progress
invisible.
