A lot of you have been asking about what I use to rust proof my vehicles here in Michigan - here it is. I’ve been taking my 2012 GX 460 to Krown for the last 3 winters and the underbody looks the same as the day I bought it. This stuff works! We’ll report back as to how well the CX-30 holds up to a winter of salt in a few months. You can learn more about Krown and find a location near you at www.krown.com/en/ Also check out their official instagram account here: instagram.com/krownrustprotection/
This is a very instructive video. I have had 16 annual Krown applications and my car remains rust free in its 16th very salty Canadian winter. Beyond the annual visit to Krown, the car is treated to a coat of paste wax every Fall and it gets parked in the garage every night. My car is rarely washed in the winter as slushy streets will just make it dirty all over again. When it does get cleaned up in the Spring it looks as good as new. Quite importantly the franchise owner emphasized the fact your brake and fuel lines as well as suspension components are thoroughly protected by Krown. If you are worried about the dripping that lasts for a couple of days after the treatment, just buy a cheap sheet of plastic at the building supply store and park on top of it until the dripping stops. At the price of around $120 per year this body maintenance is an excellent value.
My Cruze had been outside for 5 years driving in the snow and salt for 6 years and it has 0 rust without rustproofing. Was tempted to do this on my 2020 accord but the place around me charged 600-800 to have it rust proofed and I declined. I’ll just drive a winter car lol
Krown is great. My dad actually rust-proofed our 2006 Honda Odyssey a few years ago, and it's held our van very well since then. Krown has really held our van together very well. I definitely recommend it for your vehicle, if you are planning on owning it long term.
Just got my truck Krowned last month after doing about 3 months of research on the best rustproofing product! The combo of the warranty as well as the professional application was a winning duo for me.
@@nikitagrishanov9325 time and labor is expensive. Also, cab corners and the like you can't just easily remove. Think of it this way. If you don't drill the holes, you'll get rust holes... Pick your holes.
@@LondonHasFallin actually I love his videos but I didn’t find out this channel until like 2 months ago, but I knew winding road and tedward since like 1 or 2 years ago.
@@RandomlnternetGuy Well first of all if metal sheets are covered by cink as majority are these days you lose protection on those holes as bare metal is uncovered. Secondly newer cars are well protected from the factory. I understand that they protect underbody parts as theres always parts that can be damaged by small rocks and that are exposed to water and salts but closed panel parts, just no.
Great video, I live in Canada and KROWN is a MUST for the road salt that we have here. In my 15 yrs of experience Krown is extremely effective and inexpensive compared to what stealerships charge for their junk.
It was weird and interesting for me to watch, in Quebec most anti-rust shops don't drill any holes and their stuff is totally effective thru the years.
@@rightlanehog3151 Manufacturers already put holes at logical places to apply anti-rust, like on the sub-frames and doors. You don’t need to drill more holes.
@@rightlanehog3151 Why would you need to put rust prevention inside body panels that have no way of anything get inside it? Or would this rust form via condensation?
Exactly. There are plugs that can be removed and other access holes available to sneak rustproofing into them. I have been a Krown customer here in Canada for many, many years and used to let them drill holes, but in recent years I have told them not to drill holes as there are other access points they, if they take the time to look close enough, for spraying inside panels.
do you have any particular shops you think are good/effective? i'm also living in quebec (montreal rive-sud) and looking to rustproof a vehicle for the first time, would like to not drill holes if i dont have to!
Im from an island nation and spraying the undercarriage of a vehicle with an oil based solution is quite common and some people get it done as part of a "full service". The ocean air is really bad for cars.
5:37 are they seriously using broom brushes on the car? They're doing it on the paint as well in the back, installing swirl marks and micro marring. Absolutely unprofessional.
Totally agree with Krown, Topher. It was painful to have it done on my '24 Mazda 3, but here in Ontario, it's a necessary evil so to speak haha. Great video mate
Drilling more than 1 hole on the quarter panel is considered structural damage/alteration per NAAA. Doesn't mean much if you are going to keep a vehicle for a long time, but it would definitely impact appraisal value on a newer car.
Great video! I'm sold on Krown when I get my next vehicle. Though I'm thoroughly SHOCKED that there isn't a single Krown location in Southern New England!
@@disneyfan9099 actually yes. My 15 yr old rust-free Civic with 375K KMs through Canadian winters with drilled holes thanks Krown. Show me a 10-15 yr old vehicle that's kept outside without rust cuz that's how I store my rust-free vehicle.
@@teaganna5970 Must not have been from Colorado. My 05 Malibu has 273k miles and zero rust anywhere on the car. Even brake calipers. It had lived here its whole life.
My mom got her Volvo XC70 rust proofed again this year, it has 260k miles and it looks new honestly. She offered to get my Crown Vic done as my Christmas gift, I couldn't say no. Then when I go to sell it, it should be in good shape!
I'm in Toronto Ontario Canada and I bought a used 2018 Camry Hybrid SE this past summer and it has Krown rustproofing in its CarFax since new. I guess I have to keep up on it now yearly lol
I live in niagara falls and started Krown after buying my 2001 mazda miata. Yes, best to keep up with annual sprays, otherwise after a few years, it starts rusting out again like the majority of cars here in Ontario
I'm glad that I don't live anywhere near to the rust belt, can't imagine having to deal with your car rusting prematurely due to the environment that your in.
Can’t believe they don’t have a location near Chicago. Closest one is 3.5 hrs. All of our vehicles around here are covered in rust and I would definitely get the service done to some of my vehicles if they had one.
@@maximus9401 yeah it’s unfortunate. Surprised they don’t have a location in the 3rd largest city in America and also we get so much snow in the winter that it would probably get a lot of business.

@@ryannitoi2993 I don't know if you read my earlier comment but my car is in its 16th Canadian winter and the body is rust free. This is due to an annual Krown application.
I got my 2020 mazda 3 krowned a couple weeks ago (I got the car in feburary), and same as you, there was just a bit of rust starting on some suspension components. My only worry is that where the krown shop I did it at had a younger guy apply it, I just hope he did a good job. It's hard to tell when I look under because it looks so dry underneath 😅 but I guess I'll find out in the spring. I'm sure I'm not his first customer, so hopefully he did good
I know body panels CAN rust, eventually... But isn't that usually because of paint chips? Drilling holes all over your car to apply something that only protects it for 14 months, during which I doubt any amount of rusting would happen anyway, seems crazy to me. I do get the underside of the car, the added longevity of all the suspension parts, and less rust to deal with whenever anything is worked on would be nice.
Big benefit is tailgate and humidity from inside out. Long term you see the resale value where most vehicles are rusted by year 5, krown is mint as long as you keep doing it every year. But if you trade vehicles every few years no point.
What about carwashes during winter for vehicle with rustproofing? Do you think we should rinse the undercarriage or a simply exterior wash should be OK? Asking to see if undercarriage wash would actually wash away the rustproofing applied underneath
I do an undercarriage wash in the spring after all the salt is off the roads but that’s about it. A few light rinses here and there shouldn’t hurt though, but it’s not really necessary with this stuff on. I do lots of exterior washes throughout the winter though 👍
@@TheTopher thanks for the quick reply! Amazing, was just scared that my 10y.o Lexus might start rusting because i recently park it in a garage: ice melting with salt is not a great mixture. I’ll stick to those exterior washes like you do
I love using Krown up in Ontario with our salty roads. The only problem I have is they cycle through workers all the time and they don’t care half the time as they get minimum wage.
Interesting, I always wondered if you did some kind of rustproofing process. I’m leaning towards Fluid Film since so many reviews on RUclips claim Krown isn’t nearly as effective. Thanks for the upload!
The biggest upsides to Krown over fluid film is that Krown is professionally applied, doesn't stink, and won't void your warranty. Rustproofing is only as good as the person that applies it, and most people don't have the tools to effectively apply rust protection. That's the biggest reason I went with Krown over anything else. Hope that helps.
@@lonefgc4508 Simple. Krown has no UV protection. It doesn't need any as it is applied to undercarriage and interior body panels which do not see direct sunlight. By applying it to bare metal and then leaving it out in the sun, he essentially sunbaked the krown off of it.
i only go to krowne purely cause they speicalize in it and have 2 -3 guys going at ur vehicle with the stuff. fluid dilm may or may not be more surpioer, i dont know, but i could never get fluid film on as well as krowne since those guys know where to hit
Topher, this is kind of off topic, but is there any reason you chose the CX-30 over the CX-5? I've got a 2019 Civic Si that I've never been impressed with, and have been thinking of it off on a CX-5 Carbon AWD Turbo, Grand Touring Reserve, or Signature, mainly because they are Japanese made.
Hey man, I plan on buying a Mazda 3, but since it is lower than the CX 30, that you have here, will it rust easier because the the 3 is lower and may get grounded in snow, salt etc. ???
You should try and do a partnership with them w/ a NA or NB miata, those things are the biggest rust magnets ive ever seen, definetely be a huge advertisement if it worked on one of those.
I live in Canada and have a 20 year old NB2, daily driven year round. Sprayed since my ownership, no rust. IMO Krown works very well, most miatas end up with rocker rust.
@@rblythin thank you for the information, they're opening a new location thats only a few hours from me, so it would definetely be worth it for me. how often do you wash your vehicle?
@@tbtedi8426 You're welcome. If you have a fairly clean miata, it's worth doing IMO. Especially as NA/NBs have started increasing in value. Sad to say; I don't wash mine as often as I should, lucky if six times a year and usually never through winter (one of the few that uses mine in snow too). But won't affect the protection, it can't be washed off.
The comments about drilling is just ignorance. I was the same but it makes a gigantic difference in staving off rust. Plain and simple. You think your doing justice to your new car by doing nothing. Those folks are replacing parts in 3 years. Warranty won’t save you. The oil is a lot like mineral oil in terms of solvency. After a couple of rainfalls, it washes away from the driveway.
Yep, and two days afterward you don't give it a second thought unless you obsessive about your car. I have a silver care and I never notice the black plugs.
My Cruze has been outside driving in the snow and salt for 6 years and it has 0 rust without rustproofing. Was tempted to do this on my 2020 accord but the place around me charged 600-800 to have it rust proofed and I declined. I’ll just drive a winter car lol
Awesome man. Im in SE michigan aswell and I use cosmoline rp342. Very similar, except i have to do it myself, which is a horrible job but hey, I know its worth it.
My first car I purchased had rust damage in all the wheel wells. They were covered up by aftermarket body panels (I think that's what they're call) Very embarrassing that I didn't have help with that purchase. *ahem* dad.
You must get ahead of rust. Oil spray it before rust starts. The underside of a vehicle is the most vulnerable. There are many open steel items there that will rust. The brake and fuel lines for instance. I have used Krown for many many years with no problem. Thats my take here.😊
if it were me, I'd probably tell him to wait with the drilling and would step outside facing the opposite way, put earphones on and play some loud music haha
Honda Owners Beware....This Krown rustproofing will devastate your rubber mouldings around the door/lights/hoods. The rubber componets on our Honda 2016 were crap after deforming from 1 week after application. Imagine, our car was only 4 days old from our dealershp (new) when I had Krown oil rustproof our car. I brought our car back to the Krown shop and he said that usually does not happen after 1 week. He further stated that he would replace them after 1 year because he wanted the Krown to stop migrating. True to his word, he did replace (pay Honda) all affected rubber componets that were destroyed by his rust proofing. However, after another 5 months, the rustproofing was still migrating and destroyed the replaced rubber trim along the 4 doors. Today, this minute...I have deformed expanded rubbers seals along the doors and they would cost $250 at my expense to redo them. The internet is full of consumer reports (including mine) that Krown will destroy your rubber componets on a Honda (and other makers) Up to you but you have been warned. As far as rust is concerned...well there is none, but I then got Corrosion Free rust proofing because why would I redo my car with Krown again knowing it destroys rubber componets. I am not trying to bash Krown, but telling you my true experience and asking you to review other peoples experience that have a Honda and Krown. One other person even said that where they went went at Krown they Silicon sprayed their rubber componets first.
When they drill the holes and spray inside, aren’t they spraying a bunch of electrical components..? Also, the weather seals swelling is more of an issue than they’re admitting, plenty of forums talk about this.
It really varies with cars. On a 2006 Civic, yearly sprayed intel 2020, it protected parts of the undercarriage, partially wheel wells and certainly not the drivers door that started corroding inside out in 2010- replaced under warranty. Wheel well corrosion continued and stopped to a point. Then seen courtesy beaters, 2005 Mazdas and Subaru with 300,000 kms each, no rust proofing, also stabilized at that bad state we all know. On a BMW never dared and 14 years later, 200,000 kms, inside door work ZERO rust. Why? High grade ULSAB bainanite martensitic galvanized steel, baked painted in Germany and the 2013 manufactured inside looks new painted after all these 12% salinity winters. Same for the trunk, hood. I attempted one rustproofing in 2016, known oil and the installer used special surgical tubes to reach and do the front doors without holes. Took me weeks and multiple manual and top down washes to remove the drip. The drip was like a dark unremovable label sticker glue. On a Volvo, not steel alloy doors, fenders etc it is just dumb drilling holes to rustproof. However, the undercarriage is fair game to clean and rustproof (carefully) if done. But Honda and Krown? Bad mistake to mix. Toyota? Why drill holes since Toyotas are better made than Hondas anyway. Mazda rust buckets? Sure. Slow, advanced ULSAB galvanized steels? Just stupidity to rustproof. So rustproofing works on some things, like brake lines, some exposed components, but can be bad for moving parts, especially doors and cars made with cheap panels (most Japanese except Toyota), where rust begins the moment moisture traps.
@@JStryker7 How do you prevent the rust from the inside of your metal panels, joints, bearings etc... If you plan to keep your vehicle for 5yrs or more, you'll start getting rust. My 15 yr old rust-free Civic with 375k KMs is stored outside in Canadian winters with salted roads and has no rust.
@@Coolsam2000 modern cars aren't as susceptible. My car is washed often including underspray and kept in a garage when not in use. I also won't keep my car beyond 5yr. If I was keeping it beyond 5yr, I still wouldn't do this. I don't drive average cars and wouldn't dare drilling holes.
@@machucast That was almost 2 decades ago. With skyactiv platforms and after separation from ford they invested so much money into modern manufacturing lines. Also they were the first to use high strength new steel formula which is stronger but lighter than the ones before. And that was aroumd 2012 if Im not mistaken.

The biggest upsides to Krown over fluid film is that Krown is professionally applied, doesn't stink, and won't void your warranty.
Rustproofing is only as good as the person that applies it, and most people don't have the tools to effectively apply rust protection. That's the biggest reason I went with Krown over anything else.
Hope that helps.
@@dave3682 what do you reckon went wrong for Krown here?
ruclips.net/video/oXlhmbvdKBo/видео.html
@@lonefgc4508 Simple. Krown has no UV protection. It doesn't need any as it is applied to undercarriage and interior body panels which do not see direct sunlight. By applying it to bare metal and then leaving it out in the sun, he essentially sunbaked the krown off of it.
i only go to krowne purely cause they speicalize in it and have 2 -3 guys going at ur vehicle with the stuff. fluid dilm may or may not be more surpioer, i dont know, but i could never get fluid film on as well as krowne since those guys know where to hit
Most new car dealerships in Toronto stopped selling these rust proofing for a couple of years even our roads have tons of salt in winter.
Those holes are similar to paint less dent removal holes, doesn’t that affect trade in/ resale value?
Less rust means better resale value of course.
You have my dream job my guy! Great work some useful advice!!!! I please do more content on cool stuff like this!
Damn that’s not as expensive as I thought it would be
You look like my sophomore year Algebra II teacher
Good vid bud!
Do you know if they took down the sound deadening and plastic panels to spray under them?
Great video that guy nicely explained a lot
Yeah because he’s a salesman
Did they put the holes in the same spot on all 4 doors? if not that would drive me crazy
Did you get free rust proofing for your 4Runner when you do advertisement for them?
Haha this one was free, but I paid to get the 4Runner done
My family used to own a CX-5 and after an accident downsized to a CX-3. How do you like the size of the CX-30? I found the CX-3 too small.
You lost me when he started drilling holes!
Topher, this is kind of off topic, but is there any reason you chose the CX-30 over the CX-5?
I've got a 2019 Civic Si that I've never been impressed with, and have been thinking of it off on a CX-5 Carbon AWD Turbo, Grand Touring Reserve, or Signature, mainly because they are Japanese made.
Do they remove the under cover or they just spray through spaces?
How does this work on vehicles with a small stage of beginning rust starting
Hey man, I plan on buying a Mazda 3, but since it is lower than the CX 30, that you have here, will it rust easier because the the 3 is lower and may get grounded in snow, salt etc. ???
Whoops. I have a Mazda6 that I bought new last summer and I haven't rustproofed it. Are modern Mazda's susceptible to rust?
You should try and do a partnership with them w/ a NA or NB miata, those things are the biggest rust magnets ive ever seen, definetely be a huge advertisement if it worked on one of those.
I live in Canada and have a 20 year old NB2, daily driven year round. Sprayed since my ownership, no rust. IMO Krown works very well, most miatas end up with rocker rust.
@@rblythin thank you for the information, they're opening a new location thats only a few hours from me, so it would definetely be worth it for me. how often do you wash your vehicle?
@@tbtedi8426 You're welcome. If you have a fairly clean miata, it's worth doing IMO. Especially as NA/NBs have started increasing in value. Sad to say; I don't wash mine as often as I should, lucky if six times a year and usually never through winter (one of the few that uses mine in snow too). But won't affect the protection, it can't be washed off.
Should show before and after pictures .... NEW THEN ONE YEAR 2 YEARS UP ON A LIFT so we can see the real deal . Thanks for the vid.
The comments about drilling is just ignorance. I was the same but it makes a gigantic difference in staving off rust. Plain and simple. You think your doing justice to your new car by doing nothing. Those folks are replacing parts in 3 years. Warranty won’t save you. The oil is a lot like mineral oil in terms of solvency. After a couple of rainfalls, it washes away from the driveway.
Agreed.
Yep, and two days afterward you don't give it a second thought unless you obsessive about your car. I have a silver care and I never notice the black plugs.
What product they using?
Curious on what they do with cars that already have rust build up.
Can you spray a hybrid Toyota with this product?
Bazillions comments about theTopher's look.
None about the girls working around cloudy mists of oil without respirators and goggles.
Is this stuff heavy?
Is it helpful on a car that is showing rust bubbles at the bottom of the doors?
My Cruze has been outside driving in the snow and salt for 6 years and it has 0 rust without rustproofing. Was tempted to do this on my 2020 accord but the place around me charged 600-800 to have it rust proofed and I declined. I’ll just drive a winter car lol
Is this your personal car that you are having this process dome to ?
What is the different compare to a permanent rustproofing
go look it up
I want to get this done but I don't want any holes drilled. Rather just want it under coated and obviously trunk.
Awesome video bro!!:D
I prefer no drilling but under coating your vechicle with Krown. It works for me!
Awesome man. Im in SE michigan aswell and I use cosmoline rp342. Very similar, except i have to do it myself, which is a horrible job but hey, I know its worth it.
My first car I purchased had rust damage in all the wheel wells. They were covered up by aftermarket body panels (I think that's what they're call) Very embarrassing that I didn't have help with that purchase. *ahem* dad.
You must get ahead of rust.
Oil spray it before rust starts.
The underside of a vehicle is the most vulnerable.
There are many open steel items there that will rust.
The brake and fuel lines for instance.
I have used Krown for many many years with no problem.
Thats my take here.😊
Uniglass plus Ziebart offers a Dripless oil and is a better product overall
Not the brush on your brand new paint :((((. I suppose it's worth it if you don't have to worry about rust.
if it were me, I'd probably tell him to wait with the drilling and would step outside facing the opposite way, put earphones on and play some loud music haha
Do you have to rush proof your car annually?
yes
No
Honda Owners Beware....This Krown rustproofing will devastate your rubber mouldings around the door/lights/hoods. The rubber componets on our Honda 2016 were crap after deforming from 1 week after application. Imagine, our car was only 4 days old from our dealershp (new) when I had Krown oil rustproof our car. I brought our car back to the Krown shop and he said that usually does not happen after 1 week. He further stated that he would replace them after 1 year because he wanted the Krown to stop migrating. True to his word, he did replace (pay Honda) all affected rubber componets that were destroyed by his rust proofing. However, after another 5 months, the rustproofing was still migrating and destroyed the replaced rubber trim along the 4 doors. Today, this minute...I have deformed expanded rubbers seals along the doors and they would cost $250 at my expense to redo them. The internet is full of consumer reports (including mine) that Krown will destroy your rubber componets on a Honda (and other makers) Up to you but you have been warned. As far as rust is concerned...well there is none, but I then got Corrosion Free rust proofing because why would I redo my car with Krown again knowing it destroys rubber componets. I am not trying to bash Krown, but telling you my true experience and asking you to review other peoples experience that have a Honda and Krown. One other person even said that where they went went at Krown they Silicon sprayed their rubber componets first.
What's your location please
No salt in Oregon but im planning to move
When they drill the holes and spray inside, aren’t they spraying a bunch of electrical components..?
Also, the weather seals swelling is more of an issue than they’re admitting, plenty of forums talk about this.
It really varies with cars. On a 2006 Civic, yearly sprayed intel 2020, it protected parts of the undercarriage, partially wheel wells and certainly not the drivers door that started corroding inside out in 2010- replaced under warranty. Wheel well corrosion continued and stopped to a point. Then seen courtesy beaters, 2005 Mazdas and Subaru with 300,000 kms each, no rust proofing, also stabilized at that bad state we all know. On a BMW never dared and 14 years later, 200,000 kms, inside door work ZERO rust. Why? High grade ULSAB bainanite martensitic galvanized steel, baked painted in Germany and the 2013 manufactured inside looks new painted after all these 12% salinity winters. Same for the trunk, hood. I attempted one rustproofing in 2016, known oil and the installer used special surgical tubes to reach and do the front doors without holes. Took me weeks and multiple manual and top down washes to remove the drip. The drip was like a dark unremovable label sticker glue. On a Volvo, not steel alloy doors, fenders etc it is just dumb drilling holes to rustproof. However, the undercarriage is fair game to clean and rustproof (carefully) if done. But Honda and Krown? Bad mistake to mix. Toyota? Why drill holes since Toyotas are better made than Hondas anyway. Mazda rust buckets? Sure. Slow, advanced ULSAB galvanized steels? Just stupidity to rustproof. So rustproofing works on some things, like brake lines, some exposed components, but can be bad for moving parts, especially doors and cars made with cheap panels (most Japanese except Toyota), where rust begins the moment moisture traps.
Ya.... I'm not drilling holes in my car
Enjoy your rust! 👍
@@Coolsam2000 I wash the salt off regularly. I'm not going to have rust.
@@JStryker7 How do you prevent the rust from the inside of your metal panels, joints, bearings etc... If you plan to keep your vehicle for 5yrs or more, you'll start getting rust. My 15 yr old rust-free Civic with 375k KMs is stored outside in Canadian winters with salted roads and has no rust.
@@Coolsam2000 modern cars aren't as susceptible. My car is washed often including underspray and kept in a garage when not in use. I also won't keep my car beyond 5yr. If I was keeping it beyond 5yr, I still wouldn't do this. I don't drive average cars and wouldn't dare drilling holes.
there is no krown in minnesota or wisconsin. weak... someone could be making bank if they opened one in those states.
How much is it?
He said it in the video what is wrong with you
Video explains it :) it's not expensive
Hi Chris
I’m sure the Mazda’s rust like crazy cause of the steel 🤦🏼♂️
Mazdas are known for inferior metallurgy, the worst where the mid 2000's mazdas, literally fall apart from rust.
@@machucast hopefully they have gotten bette
@@machucast That was almost 2 decades ago. With skyactiv platforms and after separation from ford they invested so much money into modern manufacturing lines. Also they were the first to use high strength new steel formula which is stronger but lighter than the ones before. And that was aroumd 2012 if Im not mistaken.
Should the techs not be wearing googles while spraying up?
