I know Vas did rust proof his car last year. I am thinking to get mine done. Beside Krown, are there any shop worth to go?
How much should I expect to pay with SPC Card?

i bought a truck this summer and had a "chemical" undercoat done on it. Was a bit pricey but only has to be done once and not yearly or biyearly like regular oil sprays. we'll see in a few years i guess.

edit - if you use a spc card the rust proofer will probably have to pay you with how much you're going to save (120%-130% I would imagine).

if your car is not new - is there any value to do it at this point? (i thought you were thinking of getting rid of it for something newer?).

with all the crap that's already built up over time; or little nooks and crannies that have collector some moisture - not sure if putting rust proof over it would make it worse (trapping moisture).

Didn't do it last year on the bimmer...not doing this year either. Factory rust proofing is good enough. It's the stone chips you have to look out for.

^^The rust perforation warranty is 11 years, so lets say it won't rust for at least 8 - 9 years. They have a zinc coating they put down before the paint.

the chemical one sounds interesting. but otherwise krown is still one of your best bets for the money. or this Reg guy vas speaks of seems decent. rustcheck isn't too bad either. don't do anything with wax, because that traps the moisture underneath...bad.

bmw has a pretty cool pre-paint process and it seems to be excellent. tho lasting 11 years, i think that more depends on customer usage/care and where they live in the country. i've seen some pics from cars and it's like wwttff when you see how bad they are at not even 6-8 years.

though a lot of companies use a bath 'dip' on the metal before primer hits the car...ie. honda has e-coat at the factory, i forget the name toyota uses, but basically all the same shit (too bad honda paint is crap lol). dealer rustproof is a ripoff.

given the salt in ONT. i'd say a new car doesnt need rustproofing right away, but it can't hurt after awhile to start doing (though many ppl dont keep cars as long anymore).

I prefer chemical over oil mainly for longevity and mess. I hate oil spray dripping everywhere. Most "chemical" rustproofs are either wax or a tar based system. They last a lot longer than oil based systems, however they will trap anything underneath as well.

If the car is brand new, never driven in winter then I'd do a one of the tar based systems.

Also, if the oil sprays aren't done properly then any rubber piece it touches will eventually have to be replaced due to swelling.

I did Krown Lakeshore ala Igor for $95 cash for a few years ...

After Vas' lengthy review of Reg's, I'm on my second year of Reg's ... ($125 cash.)

I showed them my hidden rust on the A pillar door frame, and owner said he can't touch it as the oil will eat the rubber. He said Rust Check that shit ... last year he put vaseline on it ...

How much is the tar based one? I am doing a ton of work to the m3 this year and stripping the underneath to replace ball joints/bushings. Tar would be awesome since the underbody is clean.

I go to Krown @ Bullock dr near Markville. Bunch of good guys there.
Rust proofed + parked car in the garage to hibernate over the winter. For people who love old shit, rust proof it!

From reading this thread, new cars are not worthy of rust proofing. Thus, the modern snobby bmw owner does not care.

That's not how it works. Oil displaces moisture. This means that it's a good idea to rustproof an old car too.

It's also really important to clean the car properly as well.

Chemical treatments will never be as effective as oilspray, but they don't need to be done as often, which many people prefer.

I hate rust, so I use the most effective process possible, which is oil. I prefer Krown.

No need for me to use it now though, that I live in the arid prairie.

For those of you who think that your factory rustproofing is effective enough, or think that chemical sprays are effective, think about the effect on the nuts and bolts under the car.

If you do your own wrenching, you will be so glad that you used oil.

If you don't, whoever works on your car will curse you. Have fun with frozen and snapped bolts. I've never had that trouble, and for that reason alone I would recommend Krown, aside from the fact that I have a 20-year-old car without rust.

This guy has it right.
Working on a regularly rust proofed car, the bolts and nuts come off like butta!
Nothing like working on a 40 year old car without needing a torch!

But I understand guys with new cars not wanting to do it. You dont want to keep an isolated, drive by wire/no throttle response car alive forever \:D
