    For 1600$ you can get 16 rustproof treatment, one each year. That's what I do, and i believe in that! Find yourself a guy who know what he is doing. Spray inside tailgate, rockers, rear fender pannels, front fenders, fenders inside hood, motor mount, inside of hood, rear bumper, hitch, etc! My guy just told me today that I should wash my truck, said he could just grab my money and do it anyway, but it won't be as good as if I wash it first. That's what I did. My appointment is noe tomorrow and I'll be glad to pay the 100$ just for the quality service!

    I use fluid film. I bought the spray gun kit from them and hit my truck every 6 months. Quick, easy and affordable.

    I've used Fluid Film and Rust Check in the past, both with awesome results on my previous vehicles. Used Fluid Film on my current Taco.

    If you can call them, ask for Bob.

    I think he might honor the 15%.

    Pretty good company from what I could tell.

    The thing about getting it done by a professional is that he has the knowledge and the spray wands to get into all the crevices of your doors and tailgate, etc.... Inside coverage is where it's at my man...!! Water gets in there and rots yer truck.... with proper application of Corrosion Free, or others like Krown, water is repelled outta the doors, etc... and the rust preventive sits there "on guard"....!!

    Put one more down for Ontarian and Krown user. I’m going for my second application tomorrow, first one was 2 weeks after purchase last November and I also opted for the drilling to cost the inner sheet metal.

    My guy also advised I give her a bath before my appt, so tmrw at lunch it will get a nice scrub!

    I’ll also concur on the drippage. My driveway looks like I’ve parked a leaking beater on it courtesy of last years application

    What about Zeibart? My truck came Zeibarted from the dealer. Should I look into another coating or will the Ziebart work? I know it has to be applied yearly.

    All of them

    So I've done 4 years of Krown rusting. In Waterloo, they hit every corner, engine bay, door, gas cap E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. really happy with their service.
    over the summer i noticed some rust spots (the guy who owned it for the first 3 years didn't rust proof it all), i wire wheeled, prep and etched, and POR15'd them.
    Now going back to Krown next week for my winter application of rust proofing. not bad for the price.
    I recommend them.

    never used fluid film but heard nothing but good things if you wanna do the work yourself
